It looks like it can monitor an apache server on the same machine and
trigger a system reboot if it fails the test. The pins are to
intercept the power/reset button connections. I'm unclear if it also
has external power connection or not.

Of course that's all moot with a power supply I had a few years back.
If the power went off, it required the power switch on the back of the
power supply be toggled off then back on before it would work again.
Sadly I found that out after deploying about 20 of the things in
remote locations.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
