# Soft Shutdown and Consistent Boot on Power Loss

> Soft Shutdown and Consistent Boot on Power Loss

Original author: JeffGlass (source: https://jeff.glass/post/quick-dirty-system-power/)

## Article

The content discusses the challenges of shutting down and restarting a large number of computer systems at an educational facility. The author mentions that manual shutdowns and restarts would be time-consuming and error-prone, and therefore a central control solution such as a Medialon System or Creston Controller would be ideal. However, in some cases, there may be no exterior control available, and the challenge becomes creating a system that can soft-start and soft-shutdown the computers using only control over their power. The author suggests that it is possible to create such a system.
