Hello everyone, this is the first of 3 posts on 3 entirely different subjects, so please bear with me!

I have a few NAS devices that I like to keep off to save power/wear & tear and they're all wok-enabled, is there a program that resides in the menu bar that can have a few discovered/configured computers that I can then WOL instantly? Something along the lined of Freespace Tab would be good.

Also, is there a program that can mount a share when it appears on the network? Or is there something that can WOL and then mount a share? I have a mac mini as a htpc and I need it to mount my NAS in order for my Plex library to be available - a PC would just use the ip/share name, but this needs mounting. Unless there's a way around it?
