Controlling a Serial Power Distribution Unit!!!

Does any one have any experience controlling a power distribution unit (PDU) from filemaker?

I need to install 10 computers, and I need a way to control the incoming power to those computers from within filemaker. In other words, I need to turn on and turn off those computers from FM, and at the same time I need to log in the amount of time the computer has been up and running.

If you have any suggestion it will be greatly appreciate it. In the mean time I will keep looking for the answer.

Thanks in advanced

If you are dealing with the Windows platforms, look at WinBatch. It might be able to do what you want. WinBatch

Use a serial output plugin with X10 home automation to control the power.

you probobly want to run FM as a service to to get it up when the system starts and before people log in.
