For instance, you can use SrvrPowerCtrl to restart the Squeezebox Server service. This was more useful back in the 7.x.x SqueezeCenter days, when the service didn't support this sort of thing on it's own.
But primarily, SrvrPowerCtrl is about controlling the server hardware: putting the server to sleep when Squeezebox Server (SBS) is idle; allowing you to shutdown/reboot/sleep the server from the player UI or from the web UI, etc. Another 'service' aspect of SrvrPowerCtrl is it's ability to push & pull players from MySqueezebox.com automatically when the server hardware sleeps or resumes. This ability is a little compromised now, however. It was pretty bullet-proof with SqueezeNetwork. MySqueezebox.com doesn't play quite so nicely with attempts at automation. In terms of keeping your server awake while SBS is playing music: yes, the answer is in this thread. Search this thread for the keyword 'caffeine' to see what at least one user has come up with. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
