Okay, I got it working. I wrote a VB script that changes the registry
entry and placed it in a new Windows sub-directory of the scripts
directory. The busy command including the path to the script is
currently hard-coded into the watchdog script. I know there is a
GetScriptPath() function which is supposed to do the magic, but I could
not switch the log level to debug quickly enough to see where that is
pointing. The patched Watchdog::IdleWatchdog looks like this:
Code:
--------------------
sub IdleWatchdog {
my $nCurTime;
my $item;
my @clients;
my $curclient;
my $action;
my $nTimeDelay;
#$g{log}->debug("Checking to see if scanner is running & if players are
idle..");
if ( Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Block::IsBlocked() ||
Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Util::AnyPlayersPlaying() ||
Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Util::AnyPlayersUpdating() ||
Slim::Music::Import->stillScanning() ) {
$g{log}->debug("Not idle condition..");
# >> begin patch
my $res;
my $command;
my @cmd;
$command = "c:\\windows\\system32\\cscript.exe
C:\\Programme\\SqueezeCenter\\server\\Plugins\\SrvrPowerCtrl\\scripts\\Windows\\ConfigureLO.vbs
/Action:busy /Log:true";
$g{log}->info("Now trying to execute $command");
@cmd = split(' ', $command );
$res = system @cmd[0..$#cmd];
$g{log}->debug("Command returned $res");
# >> end patch
#Not idle...reset the timer to check again..
$nIdlePlayersTimeCount = 0;
return 0;
}
#We're idle..increment the idle count..
#$g{log}->debug("Players are idle..");
$nIdlePlayersTimeCount++;
#Has the idle time-out period been exceeded?
if ( $nIdlePlayersTimeCount >= $g{prefs}->nIdleWatchdogTimeout ) {
$g{log}->debug("Players are idle and idle timeout of
$nIdlePlayersTimeCount has elapsed..");
$action = $g{prefs}->szIdleWatchdogAction;
#This is just for testing...not a useful watchdog action..
if ($action eq 'plugin_menu') {
@clients = Slim::Player::Client::clients();
foreach $curclient (@clients) {
Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Plugin::oursleepButtonHandler( $curclient );
}
return;
}
$item = Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Menu::findActionItem($action);
if (!defined($item)) {
$g{log}->error( "Bad IdleWatchdog Action: $action");
return;
}
#restart the countdown for our eventual return from
suspend/hibernate/SN..
$nIdlePlayersTimeCount = 0;
#cue up the requested action..
$g{tPendingActionTimer} = Slim::Utils::Timers::setTimer( undef,
time() + $nWatchdogActionDelay,
\&Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Plugin::performAction, ( $item ) );
} else {
$g{log}->debug( $g{prefs}->nIdleWatchdogTimeout -
$nIdlePlayersTimeCount . " minutes left..");
}
return 1;
}
--------------------
I have attached the Watchdog.pm, the ConfigureLO.vbs and my current
preferences. I need to run a few tests tomorrow with my notebook powered
down (so the server actually hibernates), but if everything continues to
work fine, the only thing left to do is to make the busy command
configurable and maybe adjust the log level of the command call from
info to debug.
In the process of trying to make this work, I've been experiencing two
minor problems.
- Restarting the SqueezeCenter from SPC won't work for some unknown
reason. I have meanwhile given the process owner administrative
privileges, so that should not be the cause.
- When the Hibernate to SN action is performed, I see the following
messages in my log file:
Code:

--------------------
Last but not least I have been thinking about a new feature that could
possibly be built onto your plug-in. Is there a way to know when the
server is hibernated or shut down externally, e.g. by somebody pushing
the power button? It would be nice if the players could be changed over
to SN in that case, too.
