I am new at using UnRaid but I have a few suggestions... On this part of the script: # control of external timeout checkTCP=$no # check for TCP activity pingIPs="" # do not sleep if <$pingsIPs> are pingable # example: <pingIPs="192.168.1.4 192.168.1.5"> # no ping-check: <pingIPs=""> I see that you are not checking for TCP activity. I do. This tells the UnRaid server to verify if any of your HT(appliances) is ON or NOT. If no appliance is ON then it would start a counter to shut off. I you were to use this option, simply change the NO for YES and, under "pingIPs=" list the IP's of your appliances inside the quotes... Good Luck...

Salutations to all.... I am new to the forum and to unRAID... I am currently able to put my unRAID 5.0beta2 test server to sleep and also wake it up. I will be introducing the boot script ASAP to enable some intelligence and power management. I am testing the Free Lic with only one drive (Maxtor 200GB) on an ASUS Crosshair board ( I am using this board for its quality ) with 4GB RAM. If all goes well, I will start putting in drives and will move to the Plus or Pro License. Currently, my server is running 91Watts active and 86 with Spin Down... I have a CoolerMaster 700Watt PSU... The video card is a PCI Nvidia Vanta 16MB. The point is: Any ideas on how to bring down power consumption or is it that this board is very power hungry...? Thanks to all and will keep posting my progress... EDIT: Forgot to mention... The CPU is a AMD Athlon64 X2 5000 BE stock...
