But it could issue the reboot command via SSH no?I was also interested in WOL and curious as to why it wasn't in there already. WOL allows the system to go into standby for power management (less desirable than Off, but standby could return to service faster). For poweroff, the shutdown command could be passed via SSH, but the system would have to prompt that manual booting would be required.  Unless the system supports boot on WOL request.
