Are you sure you don't have any alarms set or have the SrvrPowerCtrl End-of-day feature set? Those are the only two conditions that ought to trigger the setting of a wake-up. How are you scheduling the library rescan? Are you using the "Rescan Music Library" plugin? I'm not doing anything in SrvrPowerCtrl to directly interact with the Rescan Music Library plugin. I suppose I ought to, though. But as it stands now, your server ought to go to sleep and sleep right through the rescan time...unless you've scheduled a SrvrPowerCtrl End-of-day custom action. That's how I would do it: enable a custom end-of-day script to run at 00:30. Set the end of the EOD period to 0:35. This script can be anything...but basically you want something that does nothing. That way the server will wakeup for the "nothing" EOD event and the Rescan plugin will then do it's job. Alternately, you could remove the Rescan plugin from the picture and have your EOD custom script trigger a rescan via the CLI. But in any event, I should see if I can figure out how to parse the Rescan plugin prefs and set an auto wakup based on the settings there. Thanks for the idea. That's two in two days from you. Keep going. Don't be shy! PS: there is a fundamental difference between windows and linux in terms of how these hardware wake-ups are accomplished. In the linux realm, we're programming the hardware RTC wake alarm directly and this works very reliably. Under windows, we're running a program in the background that schedules a timer with the windows kernal, asking that the system get woken up to service that timer at the appropriate time. In my experience, this is not so reliable...at least compared to the linux method, anyway. I haven't been able to get this to work at all yet with Windows 7. So, on a windows server, if you put the system to sleep via SrvrPowerCtrl and then manually wake it back up again via the power button, that background wait-until-wakeup task will still be running and may potentially interfere with a subsequent suspend / wake schedule. Use the task manager to make sure there are no old SCPowerTool.exe instances running before you test again. That, or reboot your server. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
