Something like iPeng could give you this for free, because it has the capacity to send, when you start it, a wol packet to an arbitrary MAC address. Regular SB players will register the MAC address of the server, making their WOL feature useless. I do not have a running solution (and I fear of timeouts and other issues in practice) but I guess running a proxy service on the server could be an idea. - Some sort of wol proxy: when a wol packet is sent to the server, send another one to the NAS. Built using a raw socket + iptables (on linux)? There are "wol proxies" out there, I don't know what they do. - HTTP proxy: same idea, listening to server:9000. More flexible since every player action could trigger the wake (but timeout may apply) - Automount script map (linux et al.): when the NAS is down, access to a specific file hierarchy on the server is preceded with a wol packet. Something like 'this' (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1410353). Timeout issues *will* apply.
I'd be interested to read other suggestions. -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 2 SB Classic (fw 130), 1 SB Boom (fw 50) SqueezeCenter 7.3.4 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: ContextMenu, SaverSwitcher by Peter Watkins Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) FindArt, CDplayer by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple TrackStat by Erland Isaksson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80396
