I'm using netstat from a shell script for that. The script calls netstat at regular intervals (2 minutes at present), resetting a timeout if there are inet connections which don't match a predefined list of don't-care services. There's a fixed connection showing up on netstat for any connected Squeezebox, so it's an easy task to not shut down before all of them are down. Similarly, any connected PC (member of the same workgroup) is represented by a netbios connection. It might be trickier to watch them for activity - shorter monitor intervals should do in most cases. =============== Just a sidenote: I'm using the mailing list interface, and my replies semm not to go through.
