Re: go power schedule

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the machine is powered on it will not attempt an IPL. It must be 
powered off.

And yes, Jerry is better off letting it run especially on such an 
artifact. Eventually a fan, and drive, etc will fail to spin up and it 
doesn't come back up.
