Just like many, I sometimes bork my own machine, or have hardware<br>
fail<br>
etc... when away from Mythtv or Linux boxes.<br>
Has anyone heard of a device ( Like a raritan remove console )<br>
that would<br>
allow remote server admin?<br>
Like the ability to reboot, power off/on a box and see the console<br>
on boot<br>
with keyboard?<br>
<br>
Does such a device exist? Would sure be handy.<br>

There's always SSH. SSH is your best friend!<br>

The only thing I have seen is a Raritan or similar device, unless you<br>
are using an HP or similar server that has built in ILO capabilities.<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
There are lots of IP based kvm solutions, but unless you just sweat<br>
cash, they are kind of pricey for home :)<br>
<br>
Quite a bit cheaper are ip based power switches you can put between<br>
the wall and pc.. Someone posted one a while back on the list.. They<br>
can be had for usually around ~$110 a port I have found..<br>

<br>
If you have another linux box nearby you could redirect console to the<br>
serial port and watch it on the other box. Not fun to setup though.<br>

There have been comments from time to time on the list by people who are running mythtv in a virtual instance on a box. I understand that there are problems with getting this working...understandably! Some tuners are easy to get working, and others are NOT.<br>
<br>
But if you are not nearby to the box and *if* you can use a virtualized setup with your tuners, it might possibly be the answer. I am of course presuming that the problems you are experiencing are with the setup of the mythbox and not mythtv directly.<br>
<br>
Of course, one answer to that is to *stop fiddling with the box!* once you have it up and running. Set up another box to fiddle with, but leave the main box alone. If you don't touch it, no-one can say 'It wasn't boken but he frixxed it anyway'.<br>

<br>On another note, when building my Dell Precision workstation I noticed in the BACS Broadcom Windows software that my Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx card MAY have some sort of remote console functionality built into it. I spent an hour or so poking around and wasn't able to really turn up much, but perhaps those with better resources than I could find more information.<br>
