Well. The mac has 3 power states: on, off, and suspended to Ram (aka suspend) Hibernate, that is Suspend to disk is only used on a portable mac when the battery is totally drained. This is quite different on Windows, where hibernate is somewhat preferred. Linux has "everything", as usual. SrvPowerControl trying to be cross platform, the menus offer Suspend and Hibernate.
But in your case, since there is no practical way of forcing hibernation on the mac, the only useful entry is Suspend. Hence you can use the Hibernate menu entry to input a "do nothing" command. "/bin/true" is a standard unix "do nothing" command, that returns happy after having done nothing. Strange as it is, it can be useful when you want to make sure something does not return an error code, in any case. Its opposite is /bin/false: it does nothing either, but always returns unhappy, with an error code. So I suggest aliasing Hibernate, the useless machine state on a mac to "/bin/true", a happy do-nothing command. And have srvPowerControl activate that when it sees the players idle. I think this is what you've been asking for. If it is not, please excuse the noise. Here is a screendump of the whole preferences screen as I imagine you want it: - do something of yours when not idle, - do nothing when idle, - suspend the computer when pressing and holding "sleep" on the IR, - ability to suspend, shutdown, reboot, the machine from players menus or the web interface.
