I'm reaching a bit, but instead of ping, try something that will insure
disk activity... perhaps having cron perform a df, an ls, or a sync
every 10 minutes would be better.

Good idea to look in the BIOS... the PC itself may be sleeping.

OTOH: If pressing the shift key works... you know those little plastic
birds that look like they keep taking a drink of water? you could use
one of those to keep hitting the shift key overnight. Fans of "The
Simpsons" will recognize that idea :-)
