Re: [Sheflug] power related question

Depending on the motherboard, you might be able to set the state it returns
to after a power failure. Most of the ones that I've had have had this
option(Always off, Always on, Same as before) for when the power comes back
on.

Failing that, there was a message on alt.hacker(Without the 's') about this,
from quite a long time ago, where the poster rigged it by shorting out a
couple of pins on the PSU. Probably not the safest way of doing it, but it
seemed to work for him...
