I don't use X.6 and I don't have an SB server on the mac, so really what I am saying is speculation. I think I remember the beta version was working better with SBS 7.5 on linux, but I didn't use that version of SBS for long, I can't be certain. On my linux machine I currently use the save version of server power control as you do. For me server power control runs fine, I use SBS 7.4.2 (a not so recent version) on linux. I found the install script and it says "Setting up OSX SrvrPowerCtrl helper scripts for user $scuser .." So: - Your Server Power Control package seems correct. - *Perhaps* a later version of the plugin, which uses an updated install script, fits better with SBS 7.5, or X.6 ?

If you add repository "http://srvrpowerctrl.googlecode.com/svn/beta.xml";, this pulls version 20091215.121332. I would suggest to deinstall the current version via the Plugins page, and only after that add the new repository, and finally install the beta version. If the new script doesn't fix things, you could try to do what the script does, manually. That would be a good way to pinpoint a possible problem with the script, also.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Hi First of all thanks for this nifty and CO-2 friendly plugin :-) I installed it and after changing "squeezecenter" to "squeezeboxserver" in various places in scripts and UID I quite easily got it up and running on my 10.04 Ubuntu. I set it up so the server goes to suspend mode after 15 minutes idle time, which works fine. I can wake up the server from my Duet controller no problem. I would like, however, the server to be able to 1) wake up sometime during the night and check for Ubuntu updates and 2) occasionally rescan the music library. I have a script to do 1) and scheduled it to run through crontab, but the server has to be awake at the time specified. I tried waking it up with an alarm, but with no success. As for 2) the server doesn't wake up for scheduled scans. I guess for the same reason as 1) whatever that is. How can I find out why the server doesn't wake up? It seems odd since it is able to wake up by the controller. So WOL works. Best -thomas PS: I have used the sudo /usr/local/sbin/spc-wakeup.sh %l to use the local time rather than UTC. It is the letter "l" rather than then number "1" (one) right? -- tuc tuc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34475 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

Or did the plugin do anything wrong? It may be that trying to make a plugin that works across different operating systems generates spurious error messages. I say this because things like chown work on files and folders, and the message "not a directory" may be no more than a warning. Are the relevant files mentioned in the logs present in /usr/local/sbin (/usr is normally invisible, but can be reached using the Go menu in the Finder)?

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 unchecked the "automatically update plugin modules" option, and thus prevented the endless server restart problem. It seems SBS wants to update the srvpwrctrl plugin to the newest version, which it can't, due to the aforementioned repo problem. Perhaps I'll just install the plugin the oldfashioned way...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Should the custom commands work on the Radio? I have gone to the Server Power Control item on my Home Page, and selected a command. SPC reports that it will run the command in 15 seconds, and then reports that it has run the command. But the command is not actually run on my Mac. I take it that the automatic action on not-idle is not intended to be carried out, and that one has to choose from the menu. Or is that supposed to work, but just failing in the same way that the items chosen from the menu are failing? -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 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

I uninstalled the server software as best I could (seems fairly inexact on a mac) in case that was the problem and then reinstalled. Currently running v.7.5.1. I can get the plugin to appear in the list of updated plugins available above the list of active plugins, but when I tick the checkbox and restart the server the checkbox reappears clear and the plugin does not join the active list. In addition the plugins page is continually asking me to restart the server even though it has been done many times (both manually and by clicking restart). Do you have any idea what's wrong? Is this a compatibility issue with v7.5 or maybe the code is not downloading from the googlecode site, or possibly the old version of the plugin is not completely uninstalled.

I'm running v20090615.00 of the plugin and my settings screen has On-WakeUpActions and then Restore Default Settings as the last two items on the settings page. No sign of Custom Commands. Any ideas? I turned off the player screensaver to see if that was causing the issue and all players are switched off (but still plugged into the mains). I'd set the allowed idle time to 5 minutes for testing purposes. What seems to be happening is that every 5 minutes the onidle script is run (in my case calling jigstop.sh) correctly. The problem is that the server continues to call every minute (seemingly incorrectly) the notidle script - in my case jigstart.sh - even though it has previously decided that it is idle. My thought is perhaps there is a bug such that the notidle monitor doesn't correctly identify the notidle state. This would not be an issue to most people so long as the action on idle is to power down, hibernate or suspend since in that case plugin would immediately stop running. My setup causes the problem to become apparent - the plugin correctly spots the server is idle after the 5 minutes have elapsed and stops jiggler. Unfortunately the server remains running and then every one minute it runs the notidle script restarting jiggler. If I had set the server to shut down when it had been idle for 5 minutes, I would be unaware of any problem.

It's a touch confusing, as the on-idle and not-idle interfaces are different. For a not-idle script, you give the full path to the script in the obvious place. For an on-idle script, you go to the Custom Commands at the bottom, give a name to the command and the full path to the script you want. Then (I can't recall if you have to stop and restart Squeezebox Server, in addition to clicking Apply, but it can't harm) in the on-idle selection (and anywhere that there is a menu of scripts) your named scripts will appear in the menu to be chosen. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 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
That's not an issue. You can write a similar script to turn Jiggler off, and set the on-idle behaviour to run that script. Then all that happens on idle is that control is passed back to Energy Saver. Or your script could just do nothing, and leave Jiggler running if you wanted. I also use the PowerSave plugin that turns my Squeezebox off when it's not been used for a certain length of time. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 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
Danco / Gordon I'm looking to prevent my Mac Mini sleeping when using squeezebox. I think I know how to do it - using Danco's method of running Jiggler when Srvpowerctrl sees NotIdle (although I haven't yet tried getting the scripts working in the correct directories and I'm new to Macs). My issue is that I don't want SrvrPowerCtrl to force the Mac to sleep after the idle monitor spots there has been no activity for a while. I prefer to use the Mac's own energy saver settings to turn off the Mac if there is no activity. The reason is that I use EyeTV for recording TV on the Mac. The minute I enable SrvPowerCtrl's idle monitor, there is a chance that it will force the Mac to sleep in the middle of a TV recording if I happen to be recording something x minutes after srvpowerctrl detects an idle state (where x is the timer setting on the idlemonitor). I think what I need is a way to run a script on not-idle, but without having a forced suspend after SB has been idle for a preset time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Yes, the beta version of SrvrPowerCtrl will do what you want it to. Make sure it's the latest beta version (from last January, I think) that you have installed. But getting this to work is going to require some extra effort on your part. SrvrPowerCtrl is really all about putting the server to sleep, not keeping it awake. So, exactly as Danco suggests above, do this: Search this thread for 'caffeine' and read up on that Mac utility. Download caffeine and install it (google search for 'caffeine OSX'). Then you'll need to write a script to invoke caffeine. There should be an example script of Danco's in the thread here somewhere. Then, you may need to modify your /etc/sudoers file so that caffeine can be run by the user account that Squeezebox Server is running under. Finally, configure SrvrPowerCtrl so that the 'not-idle' action calls your caffeine invocation script. I think that's it, in a nutshell. I've been intending, for the past 9 months or so, to redo my 'ReallyPreventStandby' plugin so that it supports OSX and linux for exactly this sort of stuff and then rip out the 'not-idle' support in SrvrPowerCtrl. That probably won't happen until December, though. -- 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
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Look through the thread to find the answer. There are a couple of free programs, Caffeine and Jiggler, that stop a Mac from sleeping when activated. You can write a shell script to run either of these, and set up SvrPowerControl to run the script when the SB is not idle. It's your choice which of the two you prefer to use. For more details search either on the words Caffeine or Jiggler or for posts by me. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 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
Hey there Not sure whether I should be posting this in the beginners' forum, but... I have a Duet and am running a Mac Mini as the server; I'm having problems with the computer going into standby while listening to music. I don't want to have to put the "sleep" setting on the Mac so far up as I want to have the Mini in standby when not in use (namely, I want to have a sensible standby setting of around 10 minutes, and have it that the Mac is made aware that it is still in use by the Squeezebox so it doesn't go to sleep when the Squeezebox is being used). >From what I have read on this forum and elsewhere, the SvrPowerControl plugin may provide an answer to that. I've successfully downloaded and installed the plugin, but despite going through the settings of the plugin I cannot identify any settings which will help me with the problem outlined above. Could someone please put me in the right direction to such info on the web, or give me some clues as to what settings can achieve this desired result? Apologies if this is a v. basic question for this thread, however this is my first time mucking about with such a plugin. I have tried to search for ideas on this, but haven't had any luck..

The only NAS device that I've ever played around with is a very old ReadyNAS 600...and I gave up on trying to run SqueezeCenter on that years ago. I assume you've used the 'Search this thread' tool to find all the previous QNAP related posts? Various folks have drifted through this thread asking your same question...and then they've disappeared. I don't know if it's because they gave up...or because they got it working. If the latter, I really wish they had posted their recipe for others' benefit. Anyway, there are a couple of different ways you can try to go about this. If the QNAP allows you root access via ssh to it's operating system, then you can use PuTTY & WinSCP to do some spelunking. You'll also have to pose some questions on forums devoted to your device. But basically, your task will be to: 1). Determine what user account the squeezeboxserver service runs under on the QNAP. On a regular linux distribution, SBS runs under the account 'squeezeboxserver'. If you can get ssh+root access to the QNAP, you can try the command: # ps -U squeezeboxserver If that command lists processes 'owned' by the squeezeboxserver user, then you're in business and 'squeezeboxserver' is the 'owner' and will be the account name you'll give permissions to in sudoers. But if no processes are listed, then you might try a sort of reverse lookup: # ps axu Again, look for the SBS related processes and note the numeric ID of the SBS process owners. If you get an ID (e.g. 110, rather than a name), then have a look in /etc/passwd and see if you can associate that ID with an account name. In any event, once you get the account name, you'll have the first piece of the puzzle as to what will go in sudoers. I'm not familiar with the QNAP's sudoers format, but there may be examples commented out in the file. 2). Your second task is to determine which commands actually effect shutdown/restart/suspend/hibernation on the QNAP. And there, you're better off posing questions on a QNAP forum. Good luck, and please do post your results back here. Again, you're not the first person to trod down this path. PS: make a backup of your original, unchanged sudoers file first! And when attempting to modify sudoers, try using the # visudo ..command..if it's present on the QNAP. visudo is the 'safe' way to modify sudoers. Any changes you make to sudoers by visudo get checked for correct syntax before the changes are applied. This is a good failsafe. If you're not familiar with 'vi', do a google search to get a brief vi tutorial. I find vi fairly counter-intuitive to use, so I'd advise having a command reference handy. -- 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

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Currently there is no interaction at all between SPC and LightsOut. Apart from the things LightsOut is monitoring anyway like daily backups and hard disk activity, I have set it to monitor network activity of more than 8 KB/s. I have configured a timeout value of 20 minutes, so 20 minutes after I stop streaming any music, the server will hibernate. To make sure there is network load at all when I play music, I have switched all players to proxied streaming mode. Since I never suspend the server, I removed the suspend command from the SPC settings. Selecting "suspend to mysqueezebox.com" now only pushes all players to mysqueezebox.com. I have set up idle player monitoring with a timeout of 15 minutes and no not-idle command, so before the server hibernates, the players are pushed to mysqueezenetwork.com. Additionally I have configured an end-of-day action that pushes all players to mysqueezenetwork.com before my wireless network shuts itself down. So far it is working really well. Alternatively, I could create and remove a lock file with SPC and have LightsOut monitor that, but because SPC starts the grace period again immediately after it expires, I was concerned that LightsOut would not find the time to shut down the server. And I like the idea of keeping the server awake while data is being transferred, anyway. This way, I don't have to keep the server awake just because the odd notebook is powered up. It will simply not hibernate as long as data is being transferred. The only downside is that network monitoring (and file monitoring) are features of the licensed version, so I will have to pay 15 bucks when the trial period is over, but I was planning to donate, anyway. -- mvordeme 'last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/mvordeme) | scaleo home server 2105 | squeezebox server 7.5.0 - r30464 | server power control 20100115.005818 | squeezebox boom & duet | rotel rsp-1066 | rotel rmb-100 | phonar p-5 mvordeme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22892 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

But the log only seems to reflect the start of SBS and a Lazifacation called by the LazySearch plugin.

Did you "manually" shut the machine down, boot it back up, and then gab the log output? I suppose that it is possible, if the "manual shutdown" happens while the "Lazifacation" process is still happening, that the block set by Lazy Search could be preventing SrvrPowerCtrl from performing the player push to MySB.com.

It is possible for a windows utility to "know" when the system is being put to sleep via the operating system power manager. The OS sends out a message to all applications that have what is known as a windows message queue. Unfortunately, this isn't something that a perl based plugin like SrvrPowerCtrl can do. At some point, I really should write some kind of windows utility that monitors the system, listening for PM initiated sleep, and sends SrvrPowerCtrl a cli request to set alarms.

That is correct. The tool is invoked from the plug-in.

Tried installing beta version of SvrPowerControl using Extension Downloader as suggested in the quoted post.

The installation produced the SvrPowerControl plug-in's page in the SBS browser interface which included all the plug-in commands, but with no hint of a link to complete the installation. The commands also appeared on my Boom under Extras -> Server Power Control as expected, but of course they didn't work because the installation of the scripts had not been completed. In short it appeared the user interface portion of the plug-in was successfully installed but not the back-end where all the actions are actually performed. I then downloaded the zip files for both the released and the beta versions and took a look at the OSX readme.txt file and a couple of the scripts. The files in both versions refer to the 'Squeezecenter' directory rather than the 'Squeezebox' directory which is configured in SBS 7.4.2 (on my system, at least). The subdirs don't seem to match either, the plug-in refers to .../Squeezecenter/Plugins/... vs SBS 7.4.2 which has .../Squeezebox/DownloadedPlugins/... and .../Squeezebox/InstalledPlugins/... I combed this thread looking for further info and found a reference to replacing all occurences of 'Squeezecenter' with 'Squeezebox' but that post was referring to SBS 7.4.1 I believe, and there was no mention of the subdirectory differences. Is this a bug, known or otherwise? If yes, is there a workaround? Or, have I missed something?

However... in the morning, the system does not power on. The log file stays untouched, just as if windows goes to a power state the the computer cannot be woken up from.

For instance, you can use SrvrPowerCtrl to restart the Squeezebox Server service. This was more useful back in the 7.x.x SqueezeCenter days, when the service didn't support this sort of thing on it's own. But primarily, SrvrPowerCtrl is about controlling the server hardware: putting the server to sleep when Squeezebox Server (SBS) is idle; allowing you to shutdown/reboot/sleep the server from the player UI or from the web UI, etc. Another 'service' aspect of SrvrPowerCtrl is it's ability to push & pull players from MySqueezebox.com automatically when the server hardware sleeps or resumes. This ability is a little compromised now, however. It was pretty bullet-proof with SqueezeNetwork. MySqueezebox.com doesn't play quite so nicely with attempts at automation. In terms of keeping your server awake while SBS is playing music: yes, the answer is in this thread.

Look at the message times and specifically, look for a gap in time. That will indicate when the system was asleep. Again, I'm much more familiar with Fedora than I am with Ubuntu. How do you set your network interface to respond only to magic packets? With Fedora 12, I do this by adding the line: ETHTOOL_OPTS="wol g" to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 -- 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

still getting some funny behaviour. The system seems to go to sleep fine now, but after a few seconds it is resuming even when squeezeboxes are off is there any way to find out what event is waking the system in ubuntu? either the ip address which sent the magic packet or anyting like that? -- colincliff colincliff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36572 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

Alternately, you could have your torrent script set a SrvrPowerCtrl "block" via the CLI at the start of the download and clear the block when the download completes. That way, SrvrPowerCtrl won't attempt to sleep the system during the download. -- 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

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
As far as I can see it does. If the server does not shut down immediately, it starts the grace interval again issuing the not-idle command. The shut-down command will be submitted periodically. I actually don't like this to happen, but in your case, it is probably going to help. -- mvordeme 'last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/mvordeme) | scaleo home server 2105 | squeezebox server 7.4.2 - r29756 | server power control 20100101.164543 | squeezebox boom & duet | rotel rsp-1066 | rotel rmb-100 | phonar p-5 mvordeme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22892 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
Thanks for that. I've got it all running now. Brilliant plugin! One further question about the plugins' behaviour. My server runs on a box which also has a torrent client on there. My torrent client is set to not allow the system to sleep when it is downloading to make sure it can finish. This means that if svrpowercontrol sends the sleep signal when a torrent is downloading then it wont sleep. Can the plugin be made to send the sleep signal repeatedly (every 10 mins) until the system is able to sleep? -- colincliff colincliff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36572 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

Uninstall the version you've got now and then install the beta from http://srvrpowerctrl.googlecode.com/svn/beta.xml.

not sure if this is the right place to post, but i've had a quick look through the thread and not seen this listed before. I have installed this plugin and and trying to go through the instructions for finishing the installation Ubuntu. when I try the command: 'sudo chmod a+x /var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/SrvrPowerCtrl/scripts/Debian/srvrpowerctrl-setup.sh' I get an error saying 'No such file or directory'. I can navigate to the file with file browser so i know it does exists. Is there an obvious solution to this?

I had not exactly the same issue, but similar behavior this was due to "Auto recognition" in the network my player just connected to the Server immediately when it was up. had to deactivate it in the server settings maybe it is the same? -- AndreE Duet: 2 Controllers and 4 Receivers Plan: +2 Receivers and + 1 Controller [quite positive after move to 7.4.1 and later to 7.4.2] Linux Intel Atom 330 based Server - [not completely configured yet] wired Ethernet to 1Gb Switch, than Router via DSL to the net... no WiFi at all AndreE's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30476 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
