What is the lead-time on the WOL? It seems that some number of fallbacks are because the server isn't ready "yet". Would increasing it to, say, a minute, allow for a sleepier server to get a cup of coffee and wake up with plenty of time to be ready to service the alarm? It sounds like some people have servers that are not "morning people" and wake up slowly. (This may also be caused by going into different sleep levels...) On a similar note: there is an allegation (no clue if it's true: I don't use the Radio's alarm) that "too many people setting the alarm to 7am causes MySB overload" type conditions. Maybe some sort of random startup in general would be good? Ie, some people would connect at 47 seconds before 7, others and 23 seconds.. etc. The only side effect is the radio display would probably "wake up" a bit early sometimes, though I don't think anyone would complain too loudly if they were blinded by the intense light of the radio 30 seconds before their alarm was scheduled... but one never knows. Thanks for this thread, though, Erland, even if I never use my Radio's alarm. :) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78920 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
