I was also just pleasantly surprised by my mac-mini waking up for a mid-afternoon test alarm I had set. The player was squeezeplay, the mac-mini had been put to sleep by EnergySaver, SleepWatcher had caught the sleep request and the OnSleep script had CLIed SrvrPowerCtrl to schedule the next wakeup. It all came off without a hitch.
I guess one question is this: If one is using ReallyPreventStandby, it only makes sense to disable SrvrPowerCtrl's idle monitoring. I.e. EnergySaver keeps it's role as the primary system power manager and SrvrPowerCtrl doesn't attempt to fill those shoes. The other SrvrPowerCtrl functions, e.g. pushing and pulling players from mysqueezebox.com, scheduling machine wakeups for alarms, forcing sleep or shutdowns or reboots from the webUI or from Jive, etc...all that stuff still remains useful. So, the question is: should I bloat up ReallyPreventStandby will all the same functions found in SrvrPowerCtrl so users in this scenario only have to use one plugin? Or is it enough to yank the now redundant "not-idle" code from SrvrPowerCtrl and assume that folks will want to run both plugins?
