SrvrPowerCtrl is not a whole-scale replacement for your system's power management facilities. SrvrPowerCtrl doesn't know (or try to know) anything about other processes running on your server. It really was designed to perform power management tasks on a dedicated, stand-alone SBS server.
SrvrPowerCtrl does include facilities so that you can temporarily block it's power savings actions. You can block these actions before you start a "job" that shouldn't be interrupted by using the [srvrpowerctrl setblock blockmsg viacli] cli command or by creating the file c:\windows\temp\spc-block. You can incorporate these commands into a batch file that launches your sync job and then clears the block once the job has completed. These mechanisms are documented in the SrvrPowerCtrl readme.txt file. Also, with the latest beta code, look in the InstalledPlugins\Plugins\SrvrPowerCtrl\scripts\Windows folder for example batch files for setting and clearing blocks. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
