I would recommend that you uninstall first. I don't remember if the version that you're using is "release" or "beta", but you definitely want to install the latest beta. Make sure you add:
http://srvrpowerctrl.googlecode.com/svn/beta.xml ..to the SBS Settings->Plugins list of 'Additional Repositories' and then install from there. As to why your server isn't making it out of sleep, what operating system are you using on it? If it's some form of linux, you may need to add "quirk" parameters to the suspend command. For instance, on my server, the full suspend command is: sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend --quirk-s3-bios Absent that "--quirk-s3-bios" parameter, my server exhibits the very same symptoms as yours. You can see a list of the possible quirks supported by your version of pm-utils by ssh-ing into your server and running: pm-suspend --help That will give you a list of the supported quirks...which on my server is: Code: -------------------- ~# pm-suspend --help pm-suspend [options] Options can change how suspend or hibernate is done. Video quirk handler options: --quirk-dpms-on --quirk-dpms-suspend --quirk-radeon-off --quirk-reset-brightness --quirk-s3-bios --quirk-s3-mode --quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vbemode-restore --quirk-vbestate-restore --quirk-vga-mode-3 --quirk-none -------------------- Determining which quirk your system might need is largely a matter of trial and error. Unfortunately, the on-line documentation for pm-suspend quirks disappeared a couple of years ago when freedesktop.org suffered a server crash. They've never restored the page. I managed to dredge up a google cached version of that page and I've included it in SrvrPowerCtrl's help pages. Again...all this assumes that you're running some linux distro. If you're running windows or if your server is a mac...then nothing I've said applies...and I don't have a good idea as to why your server won't resume. But with both windows and OSX there are system logs you can take a look at which might shed light on the situation. -- 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
