Gads, Windows is broken. http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;810719&spid=1173&sid=255 > > SYMPTOMS > Your computer may unexpectedly resume from standby or hibernation and > then automatically return to standby or hibernation after two minutes. > (sound familiar?) > > STATUS > This behavior is by design. >
... It appears that 'drivers' can periodically kick some timers in Windows to reset the "yes, I'm busy, please don't go back to sleeeeep!" I don't know if 'applications' can or can't. (Slimserver would have to be able to call the DontGoBackToSleep() system call, assuming such a thing exists, every X minutes if any of the clients was still in play mode.) I don't think the 'keep sql in ram' thing will help. If the activity timer is based on 'driver' level things (ie, keyboard, mouse, etc) then it will still go back to sleep. If it's based on 'disk activity' then it won't go to sleep. My guess is that for Windows, you'll have to manually sleep your computer with a keyboard button, and that it won't be able to go back to sleep on a timer -- that's what that knowledgebase article implies to me. And, yes, I think that's broken, too, but... I don't use Windows, just got curious at how broken it is. :) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18546 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
