Presumably, you could install SrvrPowerCtrl on TinySC and disable almost all of it's features and menu items, leaving one custom menu item pointing at your 'wake-master' script. Just a (relatively) painless way to be able to execute that script from the Touch's menu. Really, what's required here is either a rewrite of KDF's execute script plugin for the Touch, or a severely cut-down version of SrvrPowerCtrl that dispenses with all the power-saving stuff, or a WOL Lua app for the Touch. Perhaps that last would be the best bet: no mucking around with ssh-ing into the Touch...just include an settings interface in the app to save descriptive labels and mac addresses.
On FatSC, if the master is coming back from suspend or hibernation, SrvrPowerCtrl can automatically execute a custom script on wake-up which could yank your players back. However, it currently doesn't do this on an initial boot-up. If I add the 'alternate msb ip address' feature, then the yank-back could happen in all instances. I think I'll go ahead and the user-settable alternate server setting now. I'll have to change a fair amount of code, strings and the settings page to support this, but it's entirely doable. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70206 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
