Subject says it all...is it possible to remotely power the machines
on and off? Is there perhaps some .app already around that will
do this?

Also, is there a utility to broadcast messages to the workspace,
eg. "LOG OFF NOW!"? I can do this thru UNIX, but output only goes
to the console, which most users don't even know about. Broadcast.app
anyone?

Thanks in advance.
