You are having a kernel panic. I would run "fsck" on the file systems.

Looking closer I see the system is fscking itself. You might go to your support site for your server and OS to find out their recommendation for this issue.

If you like I can tell you some of the steps we take with our HP Proliant Servers and SCO Unix OS to deal with a kernel panic.

well mikep9 thank you for helpin me
but the thing is that i dont knw much abt the linux u can just take me as a newbee or a beginner
please tell me the steps you are talking about
tht ll b really gr8 of u
thanx

if you shutdown the server electrically there IS NO command to turn it back on, your OS is in a coma !! your CPU/RAM are empty .

If you dont have a remote management system that controls the power switch , you will have to ask the security gard to push the right button

Ding! We have a winner!

If you want the box to shutdown and immediately come back, you can use some variant of reboot. If you want it to shutdown and then come back at a later time, you're SOL without special hardware or a human standing next to the box.

If you wanted to get wacky, you could have the box reboot into some kind of not-entirely active state, like single user mode, wait for a pre-determined amount of time, and then boot into the normal fully-active runlevel. You better be damn sure of yourself though, because if you make a single mistake, it won't come back and you'll need someone to debug it from the console.

Or, more sanely, you could reboot but disable whatever services you don't want running until the time has passed. EG If the reason you want it "off" for a while is to keep people from surfing your web server, disable the web server daemon, reboot, wait until the time is passed and then start the web server.

there's a feature on ethernet network cards that's called WOL (Wake-On Lan), this will turn your computer or server on, of course you have to configure it first. However they must be reachable from your place and poke a hole in the firewall to the port needed (I don't know what is it, prolly 23?).
From your computer you must use a program that sends this "magic packet" to each one of those IPs, and they will be powered-on.
Hope that helps

For a machine to wake up based on network activity, the machine cannot be shutdown.

The original poster specifically mentioned the machines would be shutdown (not asleep or in a sleep or suspended state).
