I made a post in the Fedora list that didn't yield much help regarding this. I need to use a CentOS5.1 server to remotely boot a few Fedora 9 workstations. I have the option of using straight PXE, or even reflashing gPXE to the LOM for the clients. What I am interested in knowing is the best approach to this. 1. Should I just do iSCSI backed diskless setups? Probably doesn't scale well.

Hi, I'd like to test the status of a remote machine in a script. Something like: IF remote machine is switched on / connected to the network... ... THEN launch backup. How would you go about that? Cheers, Niki
