I spent some time today trying to get the Execute.pm plug-in working
with SlimServer on my Windows XP box. Though I did get it working, the
strange configuration I came up with made me wonder if I was missing
something obvious. There doesnt seem to be much information in the
forum archives or in the wiki about getting Execute.pm working on
Windows boxes.
Anyway, this is what I did to get it working:
1). Create a scripts directory at C:\Program
Files\SlimServer\server\scripts.
2). Create a "Shutdown Media Server.cmd" batch file and place it in the
scripts dir. The cmd file contains a single command:
Code:
--------------------
@start "Shutdown" psshutdown.exe f k t 60
--------------------
(Psshutdown.exe is from the pstools collection at sysinternals.com.)
3). Create a new dir off of scripts with the same name as the cmd file:
e.g.: C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\scripts\Shutdown Media
Server.
With the above setup, I could select "Shutdown Media Server" in the web
interface to the plug-in and also execute it from the SB using the
remote.
Is this need to create a folder with the same base name as the script
specific to Windows? Is this documented anywhere?
