I am a new member so please excuse me if I am posting this message in the wrong area.
I am running the latest official version of Squeezebox server on a DIY Vortexbox NAS. So far, everything us working very well. One of the experts on the Vortexbox forum directed me here for my question about the Server Power Control plug in. My goal is to find a way to shut down my server overnight to make it a little more "green." Upon the recommendation of the Vortexbox expert, I installed the Server Power Control plug in (the latest version). I followed the instructions to test the process via entering the appropriate text in the command line. (Unfortunately, I know nothing about Linux but at least know how to access the server command prompt via Putty. From there, it's a matter of cutting and pasting the correct text.) The test was a success so I assume that I am good to go. At the moment Server Power Control is programmed to shut things down at 12:30AM via the "end of the day" option and restart at 8:30AM by the alarm trigger. I have two questions: First, is it possible to control the shut down process by day of the week? Ideally, I would like to leave my server running for one overnight period every week so it is available as a repository for my automated PC backups, etc. If this is possible via a special command line prompt, what would be the exact text I would have to enter to leave the server on for the Monday the 12:30AM - 8:30AM period but still shut down for all other overnight periods? My next question...and I apologize for its very basic nature. By stipulating the end of day shut down option, I am eliminating the possibility that the server can wake itself up in the morning? Is waking up the server only possible by turning on the power switch? Would putting the server in hibernation overnight be a better option? My compliments to the creator of Server Power Control. It is a very useful plug in and much appreciated. Thanks.
