Well, I believe that some Macs can be started up by a power key on the keyboard, so I think it's at least possible.

OTOH, I don't know of any x86 computers that act that way, so even if it's possible, it may not help you. :-(

On the plus side, it turns out that my UPS software wasn't working on my main computer. Fortunately, this discussion caused me to check it, and now I have software that works. :-)

(It doesn't, however, have a provision for starting up my computer after it's been shut down because of a power outage.)
