Got it, thanks for that update. If you do decide to roll it into your plugin that'd be amazing. I'll plan to do the manual install in the interim, it'd just be so much cleaner if this functionality was available available through a maintained plugin.

Thank you, I did see that and the steps make sense. I've just never installed a package manually in Unraid like that before and wanted to find out if there are any stability or security risks I should know about first. If this is legitimate (seems to obviously be based on this thread), why isn't Etherwake just available as a plugin through the Unraid app store? Is there some standard it doesn't meet or compatibility problems with current Unraid releases?

Can this plugin be used to send a WOL packet to another physical PC on the network? I've installed it and am trying to use it via the CLI (will eventually build a scheduled script using the UserScripts plugin) to wake up another Unraid server of mine. If this is possible, can someone give me an example of the CLI syntax to use?

Hmm... not seeing any plugin by that name in the app store. Found another thread on it and it seems like it may be included as part of Unraid? If so, any syntax example on how to send a WOL packet from the Unraid CLI using it. I'm not finding any examples posted.

I have a backup Unraid server I've been manually turning on periodically when I want to run a manual "backup" by syncing my files over. This isn't really a true backup solution, so I'm working on reconfiguring my backup method to be a true versioned backup based on Duplicacy that can run on a schedule. My end goal is to have a scheduled script using the UserScripts plugin which will send a WOL packet to my backup Unraid server to wake it up, run a Duplicacy backup job, then SSH into the backup Unraid server and execute a shutdown once done. Right now I'm just working out the remote wake-up portion and need help sending a WOL packet to the other server from the main Unraid server's CLI. How can I do this? I have configured WOL on my backup server and verified it works by sending WOL packets from my Windows PC using simple WOL utility to test WOL is working on the backup Unraid server. I just can't figure out how I can do this from CLI on the main Unraid server so that I can then incorporate those commands into a User Script.

After a little quick reading on Screen, it looks like tmux is an alternative built into Unraid. I'm a dweeb when it comes to Linux CLI, so it took a brief read to learn it, but tmux did exactly what I needed to with managing CLI sessions. Thanks for the help!

Hmm, I opened Unraid in my browser and then clicked the terminal button to launch a new terminal window. When I enter 'screen', I get 'command not found'. I also tried, 'screen nwipe', but that didn't do anything either. Anything I'm missing here?

This might be a stupid question, but how do I access an existing nwipe session if the terminal window gets closed out? I remotely connected into my server from my laptop and started an nwipe session through the Unraid terminal, but it's projected to take a week or so. I closed the window after letting it run a bit, but when I typed nwipe in the terminal later trying to pull it back up to see where it's at, it brought be back to the initial wipe wizard. Does closing the UI out after launching a wipe cancel the wipe and if not, how do I view wipe operations in progress if I open a terminal from a later or separate browser session?

It's working now.... very weird, I don't know what changed, but thank you for the help!

Actually, I was able to figure out how to get to that directory, but there was no unblanced.hist file there to move or rename.

I can confirm on reinstalling Unbalanced, I see the below entry in its log before I even make a fresh attempt to clear a drive, so the history file seems to be persistent between uninstall/reinstalls: I tried running the command you suggested from the Unraid terminal to clear the old file out of use by renaming it, but the command didn't work. Forgive my ignorance, do plugins in Unraid have their own terminal that is separate from Unraid so they operate somewhat in a sandbox environment or do I need to cd to another directory to run the command? I tried running both "dir" and ls" from the terminal, but don't see any directories listed. Linux isn't my strong suit, so thanks for the patience and help with this one

I was able to find errors in both. Here's what I found:

I know that's why I'm really trying to avoid that and would prefer to just move the data off, but Unbalanced isn't working.

Any ideas as to why Unbalanced is doing what it's doing? If I can't get it to move the data off the drives so I can update the file system one drive at a time, I don't know what to do other than to trash the array then rebuild it with the file system I want before restoring all the data from my backup server.

Yes, I have one parity drive active. I could try removing it before shuffling data then re-add it after the data shuffle is done and let it rebuild. Would that help?
