No, there's no mechanism to check for server activity besides SB
playback or firmware updating. However, it's very easy to temporarily
block SrvrPowerCtrl's actions, using any of 3 different methods:
1). On linux, if SrvrPowerCtrl sees that the file "/var/lock/sc-block
exists, it won't take any action. (This will change with the next
version of SrvrPowerCtrl: for linux it will be /var/lock/spc-block, for
Windows, it will be C:\Windows\temp\spc-block)
2). You can use either the IR remote or an SBC to block actions by
selecting a menu item.
3). You can issue a CLI request ("srvrpowerctrl setblock reason
viacli").
Any of those can be used to temporarily block on-idle
shutdown/suspend/hibernation/etc..
What sort of a system are you transferring those flacs from? Windows?
If so, you could put a couple of shortcuts on your quick-launch task bar
to block and unblock. Or, if you use a batch file for transferring the
flacs to the server, you could do what I do: include a ping-check to
see if the server is awake...and if not, WOL it; then set a block;
transfer the files; clear the block.
This is the batch file I use for copying flacs to my server. It copies
the flac in question to the music server and also to a backup music
drive. You'd need to change the details (ip address of your server,
mac address, source path head to your rip directory, etc.

--------------------
I rip to "E:\Recordings\Music_New\Genre Name\Composer Name" and the
batch file copies the flacs to a samba share
"\\scserver\Media\Music\Genre Name\Composer Name".
You could make a shortcut to this batch file and just drag & drop the
flac onto it to initiate the copy. Or, as I do, call the script from
another script...in my case, I always rip flacs to single-file-per-cd
images so I have a "post rip" batch file that fixes up the cuesheet
with genre & composer info, embeds the cuesheet, embeds the lyrics,
embeds the rip log, calculates the replay-gain, embeds the
coverart....and THEN copies the processed flac to the server and the
backup.
