With the BIOS setting, my server laptop does auto start when the power
is re-applied, even if normally shutdown.  However, just in case it
does not, I have my router configured to send it WOL every 5 minutes.
If you cannot set that up in the router then do it in the pi.  No need
to check whether the server is running, just do it every 5 mins
anyway.
