Hi Gordon,

I just discovered you plugin and I'm wondering if it could help me (I'm
suspecting it's a no but asking nonetheless, someone could have an idea
to help solve it).
I'm running an unusual setup to feed my SB (a radio and a boom):
- Machine hosting LMS is a Cubox from SolidRun runnning a Debian
- Cubox doesn't have large disk space attached so my music files are
stored on a NAS (Iomega IX2-200 Cloud Edition)
- I have a NFS mount on Cubox to the NAS to give the LMS access to my
music files
- NAS is not always on (power consumption, heat dissipation, noise)
- NAS is a bit old, doesn't support WOL (a crying shame if you ask me)
- NAS is plugged on a remote controlled electric plug which can be
controlled by Cubox (using RFXCOM and XPL technos)

Nowing all the above, here's what I'm trying to achieve:
- Whenever a SB is requesting a media file to Cubox that is stored on
the NAS: power up the NAS (through remote controlled plug), wait for it
to come up and mount the NFS share.
- When SB is powered off (with remote or button), unmount the NFS share
as I experience LMS hangs if the NAS is switched off while SB are still
depending on it for playing files.

I've got custom Bash scripts trying to achieve the above, they are
somewhat working, most of the time but it is globally not satisfying.

Is there an elegant solution to solve this ? Can the plugin help ? Do I
have to improve my scripts because there's no hope elsewhere ?

Thanks in advance to anyone bringing thoughts on this mess, which was
intended to be a master piece at the beginning :-)

Marc
