[SlimDevices: Plugins] Execute script on server plugin
I am looking for a simple plugin that allows to choose from a list of
scripts that can be executed on the server.
The one ("Execute Script Plugin") listed under
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/PluginServerUtilities seems to be
dead unfortunately.
I would even consider doing it myself if somebody could give me some
hints how to start.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Execute Script
I don't think Energy Saver looks at network activity when deciding whether or not to sleep (see Apple's knowledge base articles) though it may actually wake from sleep if there is networkactivity. And certainly the other programs that deal with Energy Saver problems only seem to look at keyboard and mouse activity. I've tried lots of things at various times, fresh user, disconnecting any external USB drives and hubs, resetting Power Management. Nothing worked, and the various threads on Apple discussions and elsewhere do indicate that there are many different issues involved. I finally decided it was not worth investigating further, and that using one of the third-party programs was by far the simplest answer. Unfortunately all the programs I have tried prevent sleep only when there is mouse or keyboard activity, not hard drive activity, and certainly not network activity. I will certainly keep looking at svrPowerControl and install it when it is7.4 compatible. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69121 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Execute Script
In the cases you describe, OS power management doesn't work properly. Normally listening to the radio will cause network activity, and the machine is not idle in this case. Same goes for drive access. As I recall, my machines PPC, Intel, 10.4, 10.5 never slept to interrupt a network flow they were serving. I've seen the case you describe on linux machines, for sure. Actually, I doubt I've seen a linux machine sleep over drive activity, but everything is possible with linux :) Are you streaming from the server, or directly from the players ? Did you try resetting the firmware on the Mac, or evaluating how it behaves with a fresh OS (installed on an external drive, for example) ? Anyway, the newest "busy signal" of srvPowerControl provides a hook to a script that could "move the mouse" or something. I'm not sure srvPowerControl tries to read back the output of the script. The current situation for srvPowerControl as I read it is as such: - on a well behaved machine, that doesn't sleep when its system is active somehow, srvPowerControl gives the right order at the right time. With the desktop login/logout hooks, it will even work appropriately for Desktop machines. The 3 macs I've had over the last few years all had "smart enough" activity detection. - on a machine that is poorly managed by the OS, srvPowerControl works well for single-purpose servers: remove all PM independent of srvPowerControl and let it decide alone when to sleep/wake the machine. For multi-purpose machines (Desktops, audio + file + video server...) with dubious activity detection at the OS level, either the OS PM or srvPowerControl will manage to ruin the show. Personally, I had developed, before srvPowerControl was out, a custom PM daemon that watches different things on a multi-purpose linux server. I integrate srvPowerControl mostly as a front-end for user-defined PM actions in the web GUI and players menus. That daemon is a lot of awkward and platform/application specific code, it performs adequately but is none too smart. I think the silver bullet is in developing dummy a device driver for SqueezeBox Server. Receiving power events, the driver could block or let go OS sleep according to what the SBS wants. I had hopes the new control panels for SBS would include this on OS X and windows but apparently that is not the case. I'm not sure a dummy driver with some sort of bidirectional link to SBS is really complex and hard to maintain. But it is platform-dependent and has to be written in the language of the OS' device toolkit, probably C or a derivative. Volunteers with knowledge of IOKit, D-bus and their Windows equivalent are needed, first to evaluate this idea. Anyway, I invite you to check out the srvPowerControl thread regularly. I am sure that, sometime, somehow, you'll get your machine to operate as intended. -- epoch1970 epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69121 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Execute Script
Yes, I downloaded it, looked at the text information, and I think I can see what to do. I will experiment when the 7.4 version comes out. If Energy Saver works properly, then the machine will sleep after a set period if there is no keyboard, mouse, or hard drive activity. That means that if I am doing a BBC Listen Again, the machine is likely to sleep while I am listening. Solution is to run one of the little programs that prevent sleep by for instance) simulating mouse movement. And a fairly natural thing to do is to run such a program via Execute Script when I start playing something and quit it when I stop playing. That's far neater than setting Energy Saver to never and then setting it back. Also, many people have found that Energy Saver just does not sleep when it is supposed to. There seem to be loads of different reasons, and no-one has got to the bottom of this. So,to ensure my machine sleeps, I also use a program that forces sleep after the set Energy Saver time. But the program I use (and others that I have seen) seem to sleep if there is no keyboard or mouse action, even if there is hard drive activity. So if I am listening from my music folder, I still need to turn on a program that prevents sleep. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69121 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Execute Script
Have a look at the 1st page of the 'giant thread for srvPowerControl' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521) for the latest info. Fact is, sudo works in a totally standard way under X 10.5. (and 10.6 I guess.) I had posted in the thread a launchd daemon that runs privileged commands on behalf of a local Squeezebox Server. nc or telnet to replace sudo. That was an overkill, but actually I didn't try the sudoers route beforehand... So the code is there in the thread, just in case. Since 99% macs are desktop machines, Gharris999 has included a little trick that blocks server shutdown commands as long as you're logged in (uses logon/logout hooks). So the server never shuts down on you when you have a session and possibly documents open. Logout to the login window and srvPowerControl will sleep the mac if the players are inactive. The mac is the 1st platform to have this. X11/Gnome desktops should follow suit I guess. That's a very nice feature set, IMHO. And since the mac is so reliable at doing sleep/wake, using the plugin makes a lot of sense on this platform. May I ask what other tasks you run via your scripts ? (I will check 10.6 later, probably around 10.6.2. But I think Gharris999 has a mac as well.) -- epoch1970 epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69121 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Execute Script
Thanks for that information. On the plugins page (of Community) this plugin is described as working on Windows and Linux, but if one looks at the page for this specific plugin one learns that it also works on Mac OS X, which I had not known. There might be issues relating to use of 'sudo', as I do not run my Mac as an admin user, but there should be ways round that. That would get rid of the need for me to use the Execute on Demand option of the Execute Script plugin, which is what I currently have trouble with. I still need the other functions of the script, because of oddities in the way my Mac behaves, so I do hope it will continue to work in future versions of Squeezebox Server. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69121 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Execute Script
I think you'll soon be happy with the srvPowerControl Plugin when the author has released a version for 7.4. This plugin works perfectly well under OS X (10.5 at least). It can do a lot more than sleeping the server. It is quite flexible, so you can run your own scripts when a power management action is to be taken. Any action can be tied to the "sleep+hold" button IR event. The current version does not install on 7.4. That should come within a few weeks time. -- epoch1970 epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69121 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Execute Script
kdf, I was sorry to see that your plugins are marked (in the SqueezeCenter repositories) as "legacy plugins, best soon forgotten". I find Execute Script pretty much essential for my use and I hope it will be maintained. I've just moved up to SqueezeBox Server 7.4, with Mac OS 10.6.1, and have a few issues with it, though it mostly works. (i) I have evidently forgotten where the log should be found, whether it should just be part of server.log. Anyway, I have set Execute Script to show a debug log, but nothing seems to show up in server.log when I activate one of the scripts. (ii) I thought that Execute on Demand worked by going to that item, choosing a script, and pressing Play. As far as I can see (that's why I wanted the log, to check if what I thought I was seeing was what was actually happening) doing that in 7.4 does not activate the Execute on Demand script, but instead activates the Execute on Play File script. By the way, the main reason I use Execute on Demand is to let me make my Mac sleep using the SqueezeBox or its remote. There does not seem to be a plugin that works on Macs to make them sleep, though there is such a plugin for Windows. So I created a script to make the Mac sleep, and used to call it using Execute on Demand. (iii) This may be related to (ii) above. I had a Custom.map file defined, which in 7.3 and below let me press the Sleep button on my remote to activate the Execute on Demand script. The same file, in the corresponding place for7.4, does not seem to work. Pressing Sleep just produces the button's default behaviour. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69121 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks, Kevin... was afraid it would be a Duet issue. I was able to see what Execute Script looks like on a squeezebox receiver with VFD by using Softsqueeze Squeezebox skin... I now see how it could be set for an individual receiver other than the one that comes with Duet. My problem is that, having only Duet receivers, Execute Script executes the various tiggers when ANY receiver turns on/off, etc., rather than when a specific receiver does so, which, for the application I had in mind, is not useful. Guess my only option at this point is to request that you modify the plugin (if possible??) to allow specification of the player in the SqueezeCenter Execute Script Plugin Settings (as you do for Extended Alarm).

Again, it's probably the system not allowing the program to run. The code for execute script simply asks the system to run a script. If the system doesn't want to, that's possible. If it is actually working from the command prompt, then I really can't think of anything in the code itself that would be able to do anything differently (aside from requiring the scripts to be written in perl, then loaded by the plugin as if it were part of the plugin). -kdf ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

(Hope that's clear.) You need to set up a Custom.map file in the IR folder (wherever that lives - depends on the OS) to get a remote key to execute the script. I chose the Sleep button, and my Custom.map reads [common] sleep = modefunction_Plugins::ExecuteScript::Plugin->execute_on_demand I would guess that rather than changing the plugin to allow for On Sleep, it would be easier to change the script do that the main script did not run until a timer had occurred. Does the script you have created work when it is invoked directly? -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47087 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Execute script troubles on SC 7.01
I've been trying to do something similar. I've created a script, which I have in the correct folder - I can attempt to select it in the web UI settings page in the various drop-down lists. However, when I pick the script and press Apply, it refreshes and says "(none)". I'm seeing a load of missing string messages in the log, but nothing else. The Web UI settings page looks fine - all text in English.

I'm wondering if the Execute On Demand setting means that there is some remote key bound to execute this script (or do I have to configure a custop map button to invoke this?). I'd like to extend the plugin to include an "On Sleep" event option, if SqueezeCenter provides such an event. i.e. when sleep time hits 0, it would invoke the script. And also if sleep.hold is pressed to manually invoke the On Sleep event. Phil ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Try running SqueezeCenter from a command prompt. Some kinds of error output will not show in the log, but will when you run it as c:\program files\squeezecenter\server\squeezecenter.exe It is working for me on my setup, so I'm not really sure what could be wrong. I do know that batch files named without an extension will not work when the path contains spaces, but I have a .bat and .cmd working. Hopefully the command line will show something. Try also adding some sort of echo output, just in case it's the psshutdown command that simply won't run when called by SC (perhaps you are running as a service and the command doesn't like that?) -kdf ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Execute Script
I was looking at the settings.pm and executescript.prefs files and I noticed an oddity. I don't know if it affects anything, but thought I should mention it. The migratelines of settings.pm contain a mention of p0wer_off (second character is a zero, not a letter) and this is also in the prefs file. But later in the settings file we have a mention of power_off. Looks like a misprint to me, but what do I know. The reason I have been digging so closely into this and other plugin files is that I find ExecuteScript useful for running scripts on various events, but - perhaps I just have a blind spot - if I want to run a script manually I find the user interface horribly unintuitive. In 6.5 I have been using the ShutDownServer plugin for running a specific script. I have been trying to get it working for SC 7. But I don't really know what I am doing, and am largely working in the dark by analogy with other plugins. At the moment I seem fairly stuck. Maybe someone else would feel like updating ShutdownServer. It seems to be no longer available, but I have a copy if anyone wants to try. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44267 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Kevin,
Is it possible to run a script on the POWER OFF event with Execute
Script?
nto at this time, but it could be modified. If you are using 6.2.1 or
any of the 6.2.2 builds, you could turn power on into power oss just by
changing line 341 to:
elsif (($paramOne eq "power_toggle") &&
!Slim::Utils::Prefs::clientGet($client, 'power')) {
Then you just have to remember that power on, really means power off :)
If you use 6.5, then there is a new version but the CLI has changed a
fair bit. The event covers "power_toggle" as a command, but not the
'power' command. It will need some rewriting, including the proper
song start event.
manual running of scripts should be unaffected.
