The script is running now, please see the screenshot below when a restart is requested using VNC. However, the server doesn't suspend while it's idle. Is it correct to put the same number of minutes (e.g. 30) to RPSS -and- to the systems energy options? What should I try next?

Thank you again for your patience. How are you attempting the restart via VNC? Through the menus? Via # sudo shutdown -r now? Through the menus, but I don't think this is important. I only wanted to show that the ReallyPreventSystemStandby plugin is working now: This message did never appear before I run the setup script. For the system power management settings, I would suggest using a lower number: 10 or 20 minutes. The system is now told to fall asleep after 10 idle minutes. ReallyPreventSystemStandby is told to allow system standby after 15 idle minutes.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Thank you, Gordon, for the release of Really Prevent System Standby which you announced a year ago or so in this thread when I asked you for a possibility to prevent an undesired server suspension caused by Server Power Control. Now I have both Plugins running on my system, but wonder how to put them together. My wish is to suspend the server when all squeeze boxes are idle for more than 30 minutes and the server system seems to be idle. Which plugin configuration do you recommend? Sorry if this or a similar question has been already answered. Although I am still subscribed to your thread I didn't regard it for months.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
@Gordon: Thank you for your answer. My Ubuntu machine is intended to be a pure music server, and most of the time there is no need for any shutdown blocking feature. Anyhow, besides periodic maintenance, there are times when I try to get more into the Linux thing. If there is no other way, I will have to remember to switch off the idle player monitor item to prevent the server from getting suspended. I am not really getting in trouble with this, regarding that SrvrPowerCtrl in my case doesn't shut down the server. So I am able to continue interrupted operations after reactivation. gharris999;587344 Wrote: In the mean time, though, there is a way to inhibit SrvrPowerCtrl's actions. On the SrvrPowerCtrl web page (not the settings page, but rather the web page linked to on SBS's extras menu item) you can select the Block Shutdown/Suspend/etc. item and SrvrPowerCtrl will be inhibited from suspending the server.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Hi, I am using Server Power Control Plugin v20100115.005818 in Squeezebox Server 7.5.1 under Ubuntu 10.10 (and before 09.04). It works fine, doing what I ask it to do: After 60 minutes without player activity it suspends the server. Therefore I'm using the feature Monitor idle Players. All further settings are set to default. Unfortunately the plugin suspends the server in any case, without regarding other activities e.g. running a backup or copying data the operating system is assigned to. Even a VNC connection is ignored. Surely the plugin provides a possibility to solve this small problem. Being no expert neither in english language nor in Linux computing, I need a little help with it. Will the item Optional action to take while not idle help? How?
