I couldnt leave it when so close!....now trying it....thanks Joe L

JoeL, lewcass - cheers for your help - will give it another look tomorrow and report back

Thanks Joe L...that might be why the server kept going to sleep even with the Media Players online!!.... :

quick question.....if i want the 'pingIP' section to work, does the 'checkTCP=$n'o need to be set to $yes ??

Thanks lewcass...time to give it a go!

Starcat - im using 2 x Revo 3600 running XBMC Live 9.11. ReneV / lewcass - apologies but Im a bit of a linux novice' when you say... 'Windows to *nix format'....what do you mean? And please could you elaborate on..... "had a LF terminating the "done" at the end of the script. Also the version that I uploaded on 01/18/10 not only had that extra LF, but also CR after every line." I have also used the 18/01/10 script, changed a couple of variables to suit my needs and copied across onto my server. Hopefully this is the answer!!...any help most definately apreciated

Hi Joe L, But if I'm watching a movie, the server HDD is spun up - therefore the countdown to sleep doesnt begin?....it just seems that the 'pingIP' part isnt working correctly and I was wondering how this links in with 'bwm-ng' and how it is configured? I should say that I stream movies straight from my server to my media player and dont play movies locally from the players HDD. With reference to:- (1) Yip dropped my IP's in the script. and (2) checked that they responded to ping...just to be sure I also had one media player switched on, the other switched off to verify that (a) I could ping them and (b) when off they were infact not 'pingable' (thus allowing the script theory of putting the server to sleep). Not sure what it could be....everything else works like a dream...waking the server from media players on cold boot and from suspend...

Hi all, Firstly, great work by all those involved....this thread has been invaluable in setting up my unraid NAS. I have one problem though that hopefully someone can help with... I've used the latest scrip including all the whistles and bells. The only part I'm not using is the countdowntimer during set hours. The NAS is waking and going to sleep as expected apart from when I have media players online; it's still going to sleep?? I've set the IP's in the script to ping the media players (2-off) but unless the NAS is being used (read or written too), the drives still spin down and it goes into S3...please note that if i'm wathcing a film it doesnt go to sleep - just when the players are on but the NAS is not being accessed. I'm assuming this might have something to do with the implementation of 'bwm-ng' but I'm not sure...any ideas? Is there a way to test whether 'bwm-ng' is working correctly? Thanks In Advance
