Finally, SrvrPowerCtrl isn't designed to automatically shutdown the
server when you power off a player.  Instead, it works on a timer and
will shutdown the server after a configurable idle time-out period. 
Adjust the 'System Idle Monitor: Allowed system idle time' setting to
change that time-out.

You can always shutdown the server via SrvrPowerCtrl's menu which you
should find under 'Extras'.  You may need to go into the Touch's
settings to add 'Extras' to the home screen.

You CAN configure SrvrPowerCtrl to do an immediate shutdown by
configuring these settings:

Set 'Command Tweaks: Power-off attached players when shutting down?' to
CHECKED.

Set 'Sleep Settings: Sleep+Hold action to take' to 'Shutdown Server'.

That way, if you press & hold the sleep button on the remote, the server
will shutdown & SrvrPowerCtrl will power off the players.

Many folks, myself included, use SrvrPowerCtrl in conjunction with other
plugins (PowerCenter, PowerSave) so that when a player gets turned
'off', it triggers a home automation event, e.g. turning off a power
amp.  Thus, it has seemed like a conflict to have SrvrPowerCtrl
immediately shutdown or suspend the server when a player gets powered
off since we're depending on that state change to trigger other stuff.

But thinking about it, there's really no particular reason that the
behavior you want couldn't become a future SrvrPowerCtrl feature.  The
tricky bit would be figuring out what to do when there are multiple
players.  Should all players be 'off' before SrvrPowerCtrl suspends the
server?  Or should any player going 'off' shut things down if no other
players are actively playing?  Or should there be a configurable
'master' player?

What do you think?
