I am trying to integrate srvPwrCtrl to my power management system. I use SC v 7.2.1 - 23614 @ Sat Oct 18 02:09:29 PDT 2008 - Debian - EN - utf8, and srvPwrCtrl v7.2-RC3-20081003
In SC/Server Power Control plugin, my settings are as this : "Shutdown Command (include full path and cmd line args): /usr/bin/touch /var/lock/pm/shutdown" "Restart Command: /usr/bin/touch /var/lock/pm/reboot" "Suspend Command: /usr/bin/touch /var/lock/pm/sleepnow" "Defer action while sleep-playing?" yes "Access via Sleep+Hold button?" yes -> Suspend to SqueezeNetworks (all the rest is unset). As you see, actions are taken by another process scanning /var/lock/pm/ I use a blocker, via the CLI, because other processes can raise flags too, or because some critical system condition may appear. I think there is a documentation bug about the CLI. The readme says > Blocks may be cleared via the CLI as well: > $client->execute(['srvrpowerctrl', 'clearblock', $blockcode, > 'blockername']); > -or- > #!/bin/sh > echo srvrpowerctrl clearblock blockcode blockername | nc -w 1 > 127.0.0.1 9090 > Again, if the clear action succeeds, the CLI return 1, or 0 if it > fails. > According to my tests, it returns 0 on success. About the shutdown/suspend/reboot actions: I noticed the plugin behaves differently after the command. - after suspend, if my process is slow to send the actual suspend command, my SB returns to normal state, and SC is running. This is good for me. - after reboot, the GUI blocks saying "Restarting", and the SC server keeps on running until my process takes action (if it ever does). The SC server must be restarted to unblock the GUI. - after shutdown, something wild enough happens for my own process to die. SC is restarted I believe. I am a bit puzzled as why I should die as a result of shutdown. My process is not a plugin, it is only tied to SC via the CLI, with timeouts and connection retries; my program is written in perl. I would like to see all commands behave like suspend, of course, if it is possible ? Also, a remark. Using an SB Classic, I could personally do away with the simple "Suspend" and "Shutdown" menu options: the interesting option is to switch to SN as well, I think. Could SN switching become a preference ? This way I could drop to 2 menu items instead of 4. Thanks for any info. -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
