C50LE Schedule Power On and Power Off

QuestionC50LE Schedule Power On and Power Off

My thin clients are left on indefinitely, often with little to no user interaction (some are used as displays). I am thinking that if I could schedule them to shutdown at night and turn on in the morning, like I do with my PCs, resolve some issues I have been having. Has anyone automated something like this?

Turning them on:
I do not see a way to schedule the devices to boot from within the BIOS, like I do with my PCs. Also, I have not been able to get wake-on-lan to work, but there is no mention of it in the manual so I don't know of the device supports it or not. Any ideas?

Turning them off:
I do not see a way to automate this either. I can remotely shut down the clients with the WDM, but I do not see a way to schedule this. Is there a way to write something into a scheduled script that could shut them down?

Alternatively, since I cannot turn them back on, there are a way to reboot the clients at night? My V10LEs support the following line in the INI:
Reboot=yes Time=hh:mm
I do not see an equivalent for the C50LEs. Am I missing it?

Any advice would be useful. Thanks.
