Re: [slim] Controlling power amp

[Ben Klaas]

I write a lot of automation code for my job that often invovles 
automated power-cycling devices via network-accessible power switches 
(in my case, via telnet). The power switches I use have 8 outlets and 
cost about $600, so that's overkill for your needs, but at least in 
theory it would work like this:

power amp plugged into networked power switch
squeezebox is configured to execute a remote script when hitting a 
particular button on the remote (i've never done that, but search the 
archives on it--there has been discussion recently about how to do this)

the remote script logs into the network power switch and powers it off/on
what would be really cool is if it could happen when you hit the 
squeezebox remote's power button-- i.e., when you hit power to turn it 
on, it turns on the squeezebox and turns on the power amp. when you hit 
power to turn it off, it powers down the amp followed by the squeezebox...

if you get this rolling, post how you did it to this list. I'm curious.

Anyone have a suggestion how to get squezzebox to turn on and off the
amp's power?
Any suggestions?
