Hi, I'm looking for an outlet I can turn on/off under software control.
Does such a thing exist? I have a few applications in mind -- a
long-running script on my laptop/PDA that would automatically turn on the
charger at (say) 10% and off at 95%; and a cron job that would turn on my
lava lamps at $TIME1 and off at $TIME2 (they take a while to warm up).

-- 
The mnky gibbering and screeching used to keep me up at night, although
in the lst week or so it's prtty mch tailed off to nthng. The smell has
gttn noticbly worse in the last cple of days, too.  The next time I get
a barrl full of mnkys, I'm going to try taking the lid off. -groo, AFCA
