If you put your laptop to sleep via closing the lid, SrvrPowerCtrl never "gets the memo" that the system is going to sleep. If your OS on the laptop is windows, there may be something we can do about that in the future. But for now, use SrvrPowerCtrl's web menu to sleep the laptop. If you do that, the wake for alarm feature should work. If it still won't wake for alarms, and if the OS on the laptop is Windows 7, then there is a system setting you need to change. With administrative credentials, go to the Windows 7 Control Panel->Power Options->Edit Plan Settings->Change advanced power settings->Change settings that are currently unavailable->Sleep->Allow wake timers->Plugged in->Enable & On battery->Enable. Making those changes allows SCPowerTool.exe to wake up the laptop. As far as I know, defaulting defaulting disabled wake timers when plugged in is new with Windows 7. Now, if your OS is something other then Windows 7, then we've got a little more spelunking to do. But please wait a few days before we continue this. I'm just about to fly back from Europe and I always have really wicked jet lag since it's about 24 hours of travel time to get back to my home in the sticks. -- 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
