Re: power down Dell PE1400 and PE350

[<openbsd-lists@encipher.net>]

Ideally the servers would never have to be powered down, but since they
reside at remote facilities I have no choice but to power them down in the
case of power maintenance and other circumstances that may arise.  I'd
rather have the boxes power down themselves than have someone at the site
pull the plug after I power them down.  Thanks for the advice Joon, I'll try
and enable apmd in /etc/rc.conf and see what happens.
