I am sorry if I get a few things mixed up. The SqueezeCenter
configuration confuses me mindless - and I don't think that I am easily
confused by technology. I did not even know that the rescan was done by
a plugin. Fact is that the server could be hibernated again after I
disabled the rescan, so the plugin might do some scheduling itself. But
how am I to know? It comes pre-installed, so I did not read the
documentation - not to mention that I cannot find any.

I actually configured an end of day action for 0:30 (I am on CET DST
which is GMT+2), so that is the alarm that keeps popping up in the logs.
The only thing the EOD action does is to shorten the timeout, but I may
have a look at the CLI and follow your proposal.

Meanwhile, I have found out a bit more about the remaining hibernation
problem. It may have to do with the fact that I do not run SqueezeCenter
under an administrative account. When I issue the command
-scpowertool.exe --hibernate --log- as an administrator, the server
hibernates immediately. When SPC runs the command (I see it in the log),
nothing happens. It will make the server hibernate eventually if I
configure a timeout in the server's energy options (wasn't that against
your recommendation?), but although it sometimes hibernates the server
directly after the command from SPC, it sometimes appears to wait for
the configured timeout before hibernating. I have searched the internet
for information on how to authorize a user to hibernate the server but
had no success.

Missing access permissions could as well be the reason for the rescan
problem. In order for SCPowerTool to write a log file, I first had to
give permission to the SqueezeCenter user. If the rescan plugin should
try to write a file with the last successful scan timestamp, it would
most probably fail. That could be the reason why it does not let the
server go to sleep.

Is this making any sense at all?
