My current solution is I have a little UPS which can be told via serial 
port to switch its output off/on -- then connect the gumstik power 
supply through the UPS.  Kind of inneficient.  I haven't done much 
looking online for a software-controlled power switch, but I bet you 
could find one for pretty cheap that communicates via X-10 or some such 
protocol.  I just happened to have a UPS which I wasn't using.
