Thanks jdwek but no. LMS runs continuously as a service. It is not run as a command as and when you want to play some music. The S in LMS stands for Server. The usage of caffeinate in the example you found will prevent idle timeouts for as long as SABnzbd runs. The & at the end of the command means that caffeinate will do its work on SABnzbd "in the background" - effectively meaning that the terminal command prompt will come back to you straight away. Run the ps command then and you should see caffeinate listed among your running processes. Type pmset -g to see that caffeinate has turned off the idle timeout. The command fg will bring caffeinate back into the foreground - you could then terminate it, and the SABnzbd it has started, by typing ctrl C to interrupt it. LMS should not require a great deal of computer background to use when it works - it has failed as a product if it does. But unfortunately when it goes wrong those who have the background seem to have to get involved as Logitech often seem very slow to pick these things up themselves. There is a priority system for dealing with bugs - hence my plea for people to vote. Many thanks for doing so. As caffeinate is likely to be used for other things apart from my test fix, please see my next post regarding my steps for getting ReallyPreventStandby to (mostly) work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nonnoroger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35581 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95980 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
