Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try over the weekend and see how that works out...

That does not fix it :( I really wonder what could have changed, since it has been working fine for about 18 months.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Since yesterday, my 2 Squeezebox2 players do not seem to return to the server when it wakes up in the morning. They remain connected to mysqueezebox.com. Is anyone else seeing this or did something suddenly go wrong with my own setup? Thanks!

I think I will stick to just setting a block on server wake-up, otherwise I would have to maintain the schedule in 2 places. It may skip 1 hibernation cycle before it is back to the official schedule, but that isn't too horrible. I do have one more question/request: is it possible/it would be nice to have two levels in the blocking: a hard block that stops all plugin activity and a soft block that only stops automated work, but still allows the user to override by manually selecting from the menu. Reason: if I set the schedule for weekends to wake +block in morning and unblock (+ idle monitoring) in the evening, I can not shut down the server if I leave in the morning and I know I won't come back for the day. Otherwise, I would have to run upstairs, battle the armed guards and pull the plug. -- Roger the Shrubber Roger the Shrubber's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=739 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

There are three situations I'll have to think more about: - user manually boots up or wakes server - user manually hibernates server through the plugin - user manually shuts down or hibernates server some other way in both cases, the block would not be set. 1st case could be solved by setting a block when starting up, but that does not work when coming from stand-by or hibernate. 2nd case can be avoided by using a custom command line for the hibernate command (Is that custom command also used when hibernate is activated after idle? That would take care of some of the instances of case 1 as well). 3rd case seems impossible to deal with in windows. Anyway, if I implement these partial solutions, one has to be quite unlucky to end up in a case that isn't covered. On a different note, regarding the netstat window popping up, could you use 'start /min netstat' or 'cmd /C start /min netstat' or something similar? -- Roger the Shrubber Roger the Shrubber's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=739 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
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Hi, I have set up a dedicated server with XP. I would like it to hibernate whenever nobody is at home. However, this is a rather complex but repeated weekly schedule (e.g. most days only morning/evening, sometimes over lunch, sometimes an afternoon, full days in weekend). I want to tackle it like this now: - use the idle timer function of the plugin, but not the EOD - set all wakeup times as scheduled (dummy) tasks in XP - with a scheduled task set to run 5 minutes after startup, block the plugin - with a scheduled task set at the end of every time, unblock the plugin, thus allowing the idle timer to do its work. For this, I need the CLI to block/unblock the idle timer. It is mentioned a few times throughout the thread, but not in the documentation, and I can not quite figure out how it should work. Any hints are therefore very welcome... Or maybe I should take a very different approach?

I don't know the first thing about Perl (I think it looks like a total mess), but I somehow got it working.

I have the same problem (or at least the same symptoms. For me, the file seems to be where it should be. I tried with 6.1 and now 6.0.3 and it still isn't showing.
