I see where I went wrong in explaining myself!
So, what I want to have happen is this:
1. During the day, lets call that between 9am when EOD monitor kicks
in, I'd like SPC to monitor the connected players, and if nothing has
been played for 20 minutes, then suspend the server.
2. From 8pm, I'd like SPC to monitor the players, and if nothing has
been played for 20 minutes, send the players to MySB and suspend the
server (the EOD action). This action should last until 5am, when the
server wakes up in time for the morning alarm.
What I have so far is the EOD part working (2) but not (1). From what
you say, (2) shouldn't be working at all, as I don't have monitoring
enabled. I think what you outline above ("No System Idle Monitoring ==
No EOD") makes good sense.
Thanks for your help, and the GREAT work on this plugin - it is utterly
indispensable for me.
Chris.
