I think what my problem is is that I'm possible not using the EOD action
for the purpose it was intended. I'm mearly using it as an aditional
idle timer, but with a much shorter time out to the 'daytime' one.

During the day I want my server on most of the time, since I have to
wait over a minute to start it (still can't get it to wake from S3). So
I set the idle time-out to about three hours, so it only shuts down to
SqueezeNetwork if I'm really not using it for a good while. However,
it's unlikely that I'll want to play something at 1am unless it's a late
night session or party, in which case the system won't be idle at that
time. I use the EOD action to shut it down at night with a much shorter
idle time-out (10 minutes I think) so that if I finish listening to
music at midnight for example, the server won't waste energy hanging
around until 3am to shutdown. It's for this reason that I don't want my
shut-down server to wake at midnight.

Maybe the custom EOD action could be a completely different thing (that
will be woken for, although I still tend to think that that should be an
option), and instead you could put an 'Economy7' type mode in the
standard idle timer so that the user could define two time periods with
two different idle time-outs. Day and night prefs if you like.
