If you have IPMI on the server (which you will on full server-class hardware)
then you can do remote poweroff/poweron reasonably easily (I can easily
demonstrate this at the next meeting if there is demand.
The other obvious question is why are the users anywhere near the server? Keep
it in a separate room (preferably with a code-lock) and do all your admin
remotely!
