Hi,

the platform is basically a linux. So yes kill -STOP/-CONT can freeze
and resume the server. Thanks for the hint, I must admit that I hadn't
thought about this possibility. But even if the kill command would have
the advantage of having no delay at all, there would be a technical
problem to solve: it would be easy to freeze the server by using the
command "kill -STOP pid" with the SrvrPowerControl plugin, but how could
you detect a client activity to resume it? With kill, even if the
process is sleeping the port 3483 is still bound to it, preventing any
other process to listen to the same port.

Any idea how client activity can be detected with any other method, or
how to temporary unbound slimserver from the port 3483 during it sleeps,
so that the wake up process can listen to it?
