I'm certain you don't want my shell script! It's more than 400 lines long, although a large percentage of those lines are commented out. But I really didn't know what I was doing when I started it, and it's debatable if I know any better now, after several years of cobbling together various workarounds. It might be possible to come up with a much simpler way to trigger the keepawake routine, using the PlayLog plugin. The EventTrigger plugin might be even better, but it is not yet compatible with LMS 8. My practice was to run the keepawake routine whenever LMS was playing, even radio streams. I have the impression, never rigorously verified, that spin-up problems can occur when transitioning from a radio stream to local music.
