I haven't seen the original post either.
In general, you have several options:
(1) Bring 240V wires to a front panel switch. Be sure
you know what you are doing - all the usual safety
aspects, insulation, mechanical construction,
a concept to avoid shock if a "hot" wire breaks loose,
all that stuff.
(2) Switch the +/-15V on the fron panel, and leave the
240V stuff at the rear.
(3) A mechanical connection from the front panel to a
switch in the rear. That's what you find many consumer
products. Difficult in mechanical design, but when
once designed, cheap and save. Good for mass production.
I'm using an entirely different method: I run all my stuff over
one, central power switch. That's what I normally use to
switch the studio on and off. (And in the rare case when I have
to disable a single instrument, I crawl behind the rack, unplug
wallwarts - whatever is required.)
