ltsp

I'm using LTSP on a Ubuntu 10.04 64bit box with 8 thin clients.

I would like to save power by automatically turning off the thin clients at night, but I would like to have the ability to resume the staff's session in the morning.

Is it possible to keep a session running whilst turning off the LTSP thin client and resuming that session when you power up the thin client the next time?

Could this work if you login to another thin client in the morning and resume your session?
