Hi Rune and thank you for your answer. Ok, so our initial idea is impossible to realize with Coda. I try to esplain some other of our ideas in detail; escuse me if I insist but we can't find anything suitable, so we are trying to adapt something that already exists, since we doesn't have endless resources and time :) : - we would make servers only with a fraction of office's computers (is 8 the highest value with coda?) - office's computer will never be turned off but only go to sleep and they could be waked up with Wake up On Lan - we would manage sleep of the office's computer in a distributed way with a costum app, and servers would go to sleep all togheter only when no other "client" is logged in to his desktop - when the whole office is in sleep and a client is waked up it will wake up all the servers with a Wake up On Lan - if the SCM crashes another server will take is place and the server and client daemons restarted in this way: http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/maillists/codalist/codalist-2001/3979.html or this: http://coda.wikidev.net/What_if_the_SCM_dies (will it work?) Failures shouldn't be so common :) Bye, FrancescoReceived on 2010-11-30 14:27:36
