@ctweedle: I'm presently in an undisclosed remote location with nothing more than an iPad so I can't go into any depth here. But epoch1970 has already gone into some detail and his ideas are always good ones. All I would add, for the moment, is that my experience has been the same as epoch's: with Linux, some machines will wake from a soft-off shutdown when the rtc has been so programmed. Contrast this with windows, which has no such ability. You just have to experiment and see if your hardware will play nice.
Also, in terms of making your server stay awake overnight one day of the week, again, I think the approach suggested by epoch1970 should work for you. You could create a "silent" alarm for midnight (or whenever) for the day of the week in question. SrvrPowerCtrl should then see to it that the server gets woken up for that alarm. You could then have what is known in the Linux realm as a "cron job" that would set a SrvrPowerCtrl block in order to keep the server awake. A second cron job run at 5:00 am the next morning (or whenever) could clear the block so the server could sleep again. If you're new to Linux, the syntax of the crontab file where these cron jobs are scheduled can seem pretty arcane. Once I'm back at a computer where I can do more than two-fingered typing, I'll create some examples for you and post them here. ..or give it a try yourself. You can study up on cron job scheduling by googling "man crontab". The block and unblock commands you'll want to schedule via cron are: touch /var/lock/spc-block ..and: rm /var/lock/spc-block Good luck! -- 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
