Re: Question - Your IPL Frequency

We did on an e170 that we used for testing a Client Abscess replacement. 
It was so slow coming up that I had it scheduled to IPL at 5am and 
shutdown around 8pm.  I'd get in at 6-7 and have to wait 1/2hr for it to 
come up if I didn't and we had night owl's that didn't come in to around 
10-12 and would stay lateand they could remember to do a power-down.  It 
worked great.  Even had it come up on Sat. in case someone go the itch to 
come in and work.  I think then it when down around 1-2pm.  This was all 
thru IBM's power schedule commands.

Since then that company has dissolved and I have the e170 in my basement, 
but can't check this out as I got a wild hair and put v5r2 on and didn't 
have any Lic Codes and my 70 days has expired and I've not gone back to 
reload my working save sys which was v4r1.  Found out after I got the 
system and up'd the memory from 64mb to 512mb,  that our IPL time went 
down to a about 5 mins!

Is there anyone out there trying to run a "green" operation that uses 

the

power schedule to power down at end of day and power it up the next
morning?  Or, if not the power schedule, some other method of achieving
same?
