Yes, exactly. I've updated ReallyPreventStandby with the proposed CLI code.
You can experiment with it by adding http://srvrpowerctrl.googlecode.com/svn/beta.xml to the "Additional Repositories" on the SBS Settings->Plugins page. Then install ReallyPreventStandby BETA. Or, alternately, directly download the beta version from http://srvrpowerctrl.googlecode.com/svn/ReallyPreventStandby_beta.zip and manually install the plugin. On OSX, go into the ReallyPreventStandby settings page and put in some kind of innocuous command for the "Inhibit standby command"..something like "ls -l". That will keep the plugin from doing anything other than keeping track of whether or not SBS is really idle. Then you can test with the: reallypreventstandby isidle ..cli request. While you're testing, you can edit the ReallyPreventStandby/Plugin.pm file and change the INTERVAL value on line 58 to a smaller number, say 2. That way, rather than taking 20 minutes (60*20) to go from not-idle to idle, it will go to idle in 2*20 seconds. I'm working on an OSX sleep-inhibit app that can be called directly from the plugin. We'll see what progress I make towards that and if I can make it so it doesn't share the same defects as jiggler & caffeine...i.e. keeps the monitor on when it doesn't need to be. On linux with gnome, ReallyPreventStandby calls gsession-inhibit, a small utility that I wrote that should prevent sleep. The C source code is included with the plugin. To use this app, you'll need to run the /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/ReallyPreventStandby/bin/unix/debian-install.sh script. All that script does is update the /etc/sudoers file so that the squeezeboxserver user has permission to execute gsession-inhibit under the currently loged in gnome user via sudo -u username. Finally, mrw, you might want to look at modifying your SleepWatcher script so that it also does a CLI call to SrvrPowerCtrl. I've added a new CLI request to that plugin too. Calling: srvrpowerctrl setwakealarm ..will cause SrvrPowerCtrl to schedule a system wakeup in order to service any pending alarms. If your SleepWatcher script determines that the system SHOULD sleep, then it could call srvrpowerctrl setwakealarm to force SrvrPowerCtrl to schedule the next wakeup. -- 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 plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
