What I'm hoping to get working is a fix with svrpowerctrl. There is an option: Optional action to take while not idle: that lets you run a command when the server is active. Is there a command that will simulate a keystroke or mouse movement. I tried gnome-screensaver-command -p but it doesn't

Hi. I think you should get interested in SrvPowerControl again. My suggestion is the following: - remove power management from the machine (disable the desktop/gnome daemon, but try to keep acpid). Now the server will never sleep. - install srvPowrControl. Now the server will be forced to sleep

I have been trying to figure out how to get this to work for a while and have never found a good answer. Using the serverpowerctrl plugin is the best solution I have been able to find, but it does not make the system work as desired. I haven't found a sleep solution for ubuntu that will monitor

Well, that slider is how I set it to suspend, so I want to keep it that way. What I would like is to have ubuntu recognize that Squeezecenter (and perhaps other programs like rtorrent or samba-share) is running/sending packages and prevent the suspension/hibernate. -- Ausir
