Maybe I wasn't clear. Yes, of course I understand that the plugin has to be (and is) activated. My point was that, for my situation, I don't want to move to "Run script on Stop" or whatever to choose a script (which I would guess, perhaps wrongly, would have that script running every time the SB was stopped, until I set the script back to 'none'). I would like a "Run script now" option. As to 2, I suppose the same holds for sleep (I do *not* want the computer shut down. It wasn't entirely clear to me that the "SB is effectively as idle as it can be". There could easily be a difference in power used between switching the SB to standby and having it switched on but with the server not running - for instance, the SB might keep on trying to connect. Still, if you are saying that this does not happen, you know far more about it than I do, so I'm sure you are right. As to the probelm I mentioned in my other post, I'll report further when I have tried the debug option you mention. -- danco _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
