I take it that the "big" server running SC is your Vista 64 box as is
stated in your sig?  If so, I'll start working on a couple of script
templates that should be pretty easy for you to modify.  What OS is on
the "little" server?

I'm not completely sure about what's going on with your SB3, though. 
If you have the WeatherTime screen saver selected as your screensaver
for both "off" and "stopped", and if you set the screensaver delay time
to a low number of seconds, and if the display brightness is > 0 for
those modes, you ought to get exactly what you want now, without
needing any scripts.

Anyway, tell me if I'm understanding this correctly:

_On_\"big\"_server_shutdown/suspend/hibernation:_

Connect SB3 to "little" server (where it's configured to display the
WeatherTime screen saver?).

Connect SBB to SqueezeNetwork.

_On_\"big\"_server_wakeup:_

Pull SB3 back from "low power" server and connect to "big" server.

Pull SBB back from SN and connect to "big" server.

Have I got that right?  If so, one big problem that I'm seeing is that
there isn't any easy way to wake up the "big" server from either the
SB3 or the SBB.  I don't believe that either of them will show the
"big" server in the music source list once the big server has gone to
sleep.  If the "little" server stays on 24/7, we could just pick one of
the SrvrPowerCtrl actions on the "little" server (say, "hibernate") and
have the hibernate SrvrPowerCtrl command point to a script that WOLed
the "big" server, waited a bit and then switched the SB3 over from
"little" to "big".  You could then map that command to the sleep+hold
button on the remote.  Thus, when the SB3 is connected to "little", a
sleep+hold press on the remote would 1) power up "big" and 2) switch
the SB3 from "little" to "big".  When "big" wakes up, SrvrPowerCtrl
would snatch the SBB back from SqueezeNetwork.

We could have a similar script on "big" that did the opposite: push the
SB3 onto "little", switch the SBB to SN and then suspend "big".  Again,
that could be mapped to the sleep+hold button.

Is this the sort of thing you're getting at?
