i guys From YDL's maillist I found the following snippet....
Pulled from a discussion about how to do the same on a PowerMac G4. I don't own an XServe, so your mileage may vary, but it should work. Got it :-) it can be done by simply by: # echo 'server_mode=1' > /proc/pmu/options -Hal Posey, Jake E wrote:
so... apparently .. it should be possible... but how to do this in a BSD world.... eh....

I /think/ we had code for it at some point, probably set it on a few models that were intended to be servers. Anyway, this bit is managed by the onboard microcontroller ( cuda or pmu, depending what model you have ) and thus can be set or reset by sending commands to it. Shouldn't be too difficult to do. Also, I'm not sure all models support it.have fun Michael
