I see what you mean. Well, if it were me, I would;<br>
<br>
- make a custom build with remote SSH access enabled, with a preloaded<br>
public key, and a service that registers the laptop with a control<br>
server,<br>
<br>
- write a control server that produces a list of IP addresses for laptops,<br>
<br>
- write a script to enable and disable the activities,<br>
<br>
- use a distributed shell (e.g. the Ubuntu or Debian dsh package) to<br>
activate the script on the 25 laptops at once,<br>
<br>
With this preparation the daily task would be turning on the laptops,<br>
then executing a couple of commands:<br>
<br>
% dsh --group laptops enable-activities<br>
% dsh --group laptops poweroff<br>
<br>
I've done it this way before, though with actions other than enabling<br>
and disabling activities.<br>
