I was thinking of a more recent feature of srvPowerControl which is a status flag (inactive/idle/active) raised by the plugin. That was designed to communicate with external power management solutions (lightsOut ?). You could ask gharris999 for more details and advice.
Otherwise, you can whip up a bit of code that queries the server (and/or the players through the CLI). I think srvPowerControl does that and more and better than you would do it. (I have coded my own PM daemon. An ugly beast of several hundreds lines of perl code, to manage diverse protocols/apps incl. SB players. You really don't want to do that unless you're very bored.) -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72608 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
