<br></blockquote></div><br>I have thought about doing this but I run an ASA for a firewall and it does not have a DNS client. <br><br>I dont have a NAS for diskless. All the storage is local. So diskless boots off the backend and the backend boots off diskless.<br>
<br>I really do not want the diskless machine to wake the backend when I turn it on. This would make the frontend take a lot longer to start as it would have to boot the server, wait...then boot itself.<br><br>Any one have script that i could modify that would use mythtv shutdown cmd's that would do the if statement above?<br>
