Well, I have been playing around with SC 7.0 and the only thing missing
7.0 to make me a happy camper is a plugin to allow me to do what I had
accomplished with ShutdownServer in SS 6.5x. Btw, I wonder why such a
functionality is not either native or provided as a "default" plugin in
SS/SC. I feel
I thought people reading this thread might like to know that kdf posted
version 1.19 of the plugin on July 13th, correcting the issues I had
raised.
And the presence of the (server) option when making settings on the SB
helps to clarify the usage.
I think it's really nice now, particularly as th

This is trickier than you'
The ShutdownServer plugin is designed to run a suitable script. The
sample script for Windows is for shutting down, but if you can write a
script yourself for putting the computer to sleep then the plugin will
run it. In fact, as far as I can see, it could run any script you
wanted.

I've done some checking with the new version.
One good thing I notice is that the player settings are now visible as
they should be.
Next thing, which is fine if one knows it is going to happen but is
unexpected, is that pressing Play executes the Open File script, not
the Play File script. I've

The script "unjiggle" is shown in the Web interface as being set to
execute when power is turned off, and it shows that way in the
