[mythtv-users] Where is Jarod's guide to automatic shutdown and restart?

Somehow I doubt all the MythTV users on the planet using WOL would have 
any effect whatsoever on global warming, considering it's not even clear 
at this point that human activity is causing it.

Regardless, electricity cost *is* an issue: I used to run 4 computers 
(dual Opteron desktop, P4 Myth frontend/backend, K6-2 DMZ, and K6 
firewall) full time and ran montly electric bills of >$100.  When I 
shifted to two computers running full time (Athlon Myth backend, P4 
combined firewall/DMZ), my electric bills dropped to $70 with no other 
usage changes.  $30/month is not an insignificant amount of money.

Cheers,
