I was running my HA server on an old PC.  As a result of upgrading my sons
PC
including a new case I moved the contents of my PC to his old case for a
number of reasons.  My old case had a real on/off switch, the new one has a
momentary switch (I guess ... not an expert here).  Now, my request for
help.
We live in an area where we have a power fail maybe every 3 months or so,
normally when we are away for a few days.  With the old PC it would
automatically reboot Linux and Misterhouse would come up once power
returned.
The result was that I could look back on the log of actions and get a rough
idea of the outage time and duration.  Now I just return to a PC that is
powered off.

Short of changing the case again can anybody suggest something I could do
to
get the new one working like the old one did?
