[ubuntu-uk] Work Experience
Sorry if this is very late notice, but I would like to ask if any Midlands-based companies would be able to take me on for work experience related to computers this summer. I am currently studying AS levels in Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Physics, French and German and intend to keep all but the languages up for A2. As it stands, I am likely to read Maths, Chemistry or possibly both at university with a view to either a career in chemistry or (obviously from this email) computers. While I can write Python and C, I don't think that I would be able to work as a coder and produce applications on demand. However, I would appreciate offers of work experience of any kind. If you think there is a possibility that you could accomodate me, I would appreciate a reply off-list to this email address. Thanks in advance for anything you can do. -- Josh Holland j...@joshh.co.uk http://joshh.co.uk madmartian on irc.freenode.net -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] Server Power Management
Hi Folks Some thoughts please. I'm trying to find a way to automajically power up and down my home server as both my partner and I commute to work each day, and most weekend daytimes we're flitting in and out so wouldn't be using the home file and print server until the evenings. I have a timer on my router which works well for us, but the server is a bit of a headache. I don't want to leave it on whilst we're not there so am looking for a way to be able to turn it on and off at specified times. I'm thinking that a Krone job could be used to turn it off, but don't know which commands to use to ensure that it shuts down properly. I suspect that for turning on, I need to set something in the BIOS so that as soon as the power is turned on by the timer, the server comes up too. The server is currently an old P5 mini tower and draws quite a current, by comparison to the Viglen MPC-L for example, and it seems rather silly to have it on when there's no use for it. - I have no need at present to remotely access the server. It's currently running Ubuntu Server 8.10 with the SAMBA file / printer server.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Server Power Management
I just got a server up ten minutes ago, and noticed there was a 'wake on alarm' setting in the bios. It looked like it was used to wake the computer up at certain times (it had a clock underneath). You may have something similar in your bios, otherwise you could always try 'Wake on LAN' which is basically sending a network packet from another PC to the server to tell it to turn on.

Yeah, the Wake On Lan option is what you need, or WoL. Although some BIOSs put it in odd places and call it strange things. I leave my viglen on 24x7 and when I want to wake other machines up at home (remotely or otherwise) I use the etherwake command:- sudo etherwake 00:1B:FC:XX:XX:XX It wakes up the other machine and a few mins later I can get to it via whatever protocol I need.
