I would have taken the registry commands from the existing VB script and tried to build one that accepts approximately the same options as SCPowerTool, so one would only need to replace the name of the command in SPC's configuration.

Plus I like my Boom to be changed over to SN on hibernate. Other people might even prefer standby to hibernate. In my opinion, an external script and an added "not idle" command option are the cleanest and least intrusive solution. -- mvordeme 'last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/mvordeme) | scaleo home server 2105 | squeezecenter 7.3.2 | server power control 7.3 | squeezebox boom & duet | rotel rsp-1066 | rotel rmb-100 | phonar p-5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mvordeme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22892 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
