Ah yes I'd seen that feature, as far I could tell though if your turn it
on in srvPowerControl it'll then power off the system when the players
are idle(and perhaps when something (eg. samba) else is busy), there's
no way of monitoring the players only, I need to look at it again.

I guess I could mod the Powernap daemon to check if the players are
busy directly (though it's coded in Perl which I no nothing about) I was
hoping this kind of thing would be routine, obviously not :-(

At the moment though I'm thinking the Powernap isn't really up to the
job as (as far as I can see) all it does it monitor specific processes
for presence rather than activity which is not really any good for SBS,
Samba etc so am beginning to wonder if I need to write my own power
daemon, something I don't really want to do or ditch linux go to
Microsoft...I'm still in shock from having to code the sequence to go
into suspend then come back on at go into hibernate if not required
during the suspend period :-)

How does you power daemon work ?
