How can I automatically power off a server at 20.00pm and turn It On again at 8.00am in the morning? Is there any sw or hw tool that makò me able to schedule On/Off time?
The server could be anything Linux/Mac Os X/Windows.
EDIT: I mean something like this functionality of the fit-PC.

If the NIC and BIOS in your server support it, you should be able to enable Wake-on-LAN, then set another machine to send the magic packet at wake time. Though you might save more in the long run by buying processors (and switches) with "green" features that allow them to consume less power when not heavily used (the unused cores/ports stop drawing power, if I remember right).
