When you say "logged on the server PC"...do you mean working at the
server as though it was a regular desktop PC, or do you mean logged in
from a desktop over the network?

Either way, there are ways to temporarily block SrvrPowerCtrl's on-idle
countdown.  One way is through the Squeezebox Server web interface:  go
to Extras->Server Power Control and select "Block Shutdown/Suspend/etc."
This will keep SrvrPowerCtrl from taking any actions until you reboot
the server or "undo" this from the menu again.

Also, there are "CLI" commands that can also be used to block & unblock
SrvrPowerCtrl from taking any action.

You could have a batch file like this:

setblock.cmd:
> 
> @echo off
> scclitool.exe srvrpowerctrl setblock Hey_Im_WORKING_here viacli -h
> 127.0.0.1 -p 9090
> 
..and you could put a shortcut to that batch file on your task bar. 
Clicking that shortcut will block SrvrPowerCtrl.

Likewise, a batchfile:

clearblock.cmd
> 
> @echo off
> scclitool.exe srvrpowerctrl clearblock OK_Im_done viacli -h 127.0.0.1
> -p 9090
> 
..again, pointed to via a shortcut on the task bar will start
SrvrPowerCtrl's "clock" again.
