In general: if SqueezeCenter isn't running then neither are any of its
plugins.

As it stands, it sounds as though you're selecting "Shutdown Server"
from the SrvrPowerCtrl menu.  That action will, indeed, kill the
SqueezeServer service.  But without shutdown privileges having been
granted to the "squeezecenter" user, that's all that
happens....SqueezeCenter dies and that's it.  It also sounds like the
Synology OS may have a configuration feature such that, if it sees
SqueezeCenter running, it refuses to hibernate.  If you dig deep enough
into the Synology configuration pages, you may discover how to turn that
feature off.

You are being a trailblazer here.  I haven't heard of anyone else using
SrvrPowerCtrl on NAS hardware.  Epoch1970 may have a better sense of
your issue than do I.  I don't know anything about the Synology, its
operating system, etc.  Hopefully, someone else has played around with
this sort of thing and they can chime in with some pointers.  If you do
get this figured out, please write up a report of the steps you needed
to take to get things working.  I'll happily include your comments in
SrvrPowerCtrl's help file.

>From a total of about 1 minute of googling, it looks as if Synology
uses some flavor of linux as their operating system and it does appear
that they support ssh connections.  If you can login as root or
otherwise gain root privileges over ssh, you *may* be able to configure
the /etc/sudoers file so that SrvrPowerCtrl can really
shutdown/suspend/hibernate the system.  I don't know what application
the NAS is using to implement hibernation, though.

I'm afraid that you'll need to do some research and then some
configuration work to get this all working as it's supposed to.  If
there are forums dedicated to Synology hardware, you might ask these
questions there.  Otherwise, you may get some answers asking here in the
linux forum and in the 3rd party hardware forum.  But where ever you
conduct your research, you'll need to discover:

1). Does the OS have a "sudo" utility or its equivalent?  This utility
allows users with limited privileges to run programs that are otherwise
off limits to them.  If there is a "sudo" or like utility, how do you
grant privileges to users so that they can execute a program without
being prompted for a password?  This last thing is the key to making
SrvrPowerCtrl work with linux-like operating systems.  This is usually
accomplished via entries in the /etc/sudoers file.  The exact syntax for
these entries varies with different linux distributions.  

2). What application does the synology OS use to shutdown or restart
the system: is it /sbin/shutdown ?  Is it something else?  In either
case, you need to then figure out how to grant the "squeezecenter" user
privileges under the operating system to execute this application.

3). What application does the system use for hibernation?  I'm guessing
that it won't be /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate, but I don't know.  But again,
you'll need to figure out how to grant the "squeezecenter" user
privileges to execute this application.

I'm sorry I can't offer you anything more than this very generic help.

Again, if you do have any success in getting things configured and
working, please report back to us.
