[Cialug] Slightly OT: Server Room Temperature

[Jonathan C. Bailey]

I've been considering a shell script to check the environmental monitor in the room and shutdown as needed. Least critical first of course..

Last thought: 

Some servers let you set a "shutdown temp" in the firmware.  Set a written
policy that says the servers will be set to shutdown at 90 Degrees F. and/or
set it yourself in the firmware.

Once they have machines shutting down they will need to get the AC going.
