Deciding to sleep a desktop when the screen has gone blank and input devices have not been used for a while is an easy decision: the user's obviously gone or doesn't care about the machine.
On a server this is much more tricky. How much networking is "significant" activity ? Should it go down when some users connected are idle, but in fact not done with it ? You could use the srvPowerControl plugin (see the 3rd Party Plugins sub-forum). It can put the computer running SqueezeCenter to sleep when players are idling, among other things. You'll need to provide the plugin with a command to put the computer to sleep (this doesn't seem to be a problem obviously), and to make sure your computer can wake-up on "WOL packets" which are sent by players when they can't connect to the server right away. -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56452 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
