Anyone have a clue why this may be? Most likely it's due to a bug/feature in the MB BIOS implementation of S3.

I think you at least want to grep for the actual network interface. If you don't, you may never go to sleep because of non-network traffic on the loopback device. The cut may not be needed, but I wanted to show some advanced possibilities for determining bytes send and received.

That includes information for loopback, which isn't purely network activity. Standard unRAID tends to only support a single NIC so it would be: NetSnapshot=$(cat /proc/net/dev | egrep eth0 | cut -d: -f2) NetBytesRecv=$(echo $NetSnapshot | cut -d\ -f1) NetBytesTran=$(echo $NetSnapshot | cut -d\ -f9) The last two lines are 'cut -d\[space][space]-f#'

uuuhmmm? Is that a compile yourself kinda thing? Yes, exactly.
