In the 3rd-party plugins thread, there is one about srvPowerControl (rarely goes past the first page.) This plugin monitors squeezecenter usage and sends sleep commands. It does much more but that's the basic idea. As long as your server is wired, and the server is able to wake from sleep, the Transporter will wake the server when you press power on the remote. If you do sleep-to-ram, then the Transporter will be operational within a few seconds (say 3 to 10 max). If you do sleep-to-disk, then it will take a lot more; sleep-to-disk is somehow interesting in windows as it accelerates the boot. Power saving settings vary from one motherboard to the other, and also depend on the OS version... So the idea is to get your ubuntu machine running, sleeping and waking up ok (since this is a recent motherboard, that should be possible, probably easy.) >From there, you'll be able to give the right parameters for the plugin to sleep the machine when the Transporter is idle. -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61504 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
