can I wire one pushbutton to do mutliple things?
painterinfo:
I strongly recommend against mucking with mains voltage unless you are qualified.
If you want the same button to power on your computer as well as do something else I posted a safe method with a relay here

A couple posts down is a full description
If you want to do as you say, activate some mains powered device and also send a button press to an IPAC here is a circuit that will do that.
For the info of people that are qualified to work with mains voltage
Do something wrong here and you will fry something.

i would personaly use 2 relays, i never like to mix voltages in relays, especialy when a computer type devise is involved with signal level switching,
