Awesome news about IPy... I kinda gave up what with the IP Address issue and plus I think another plugin was cause sleep issues. Ill give it another go tonight!

Thanks for posting Nimrodel! Been playing with this for hours now and its giving me headaches! Installed al the packages ( which was an issue due to some of the plugins i run ) Then it still couldnt register with the sleep proxy even after your additions to the go file. That i think was due to me having IPMI and remote management on the board. I think i got around it by hard coding my IP address into the script... But now whenever I try and run the script my server locks and needs hard restarting. Arrrgh!

Thank you very much Nimrodel that seemed to work a treat! Been busy at work so haven't been able to play around much but now I seem to have the issue where it works as advertised once ie run the script on sleep, services stay advertised and server wakes when accessed... However now if the server sleeps a second time it doesn't seem to keep the services advertised

Thank you very much, I'll have a play around when I get home tonight!

Ah, brilliant! Don't know anything about Python so don't suppose you could point me in the right direction?

No worrys Greg, that's for all your help anyway! I haven't had time either till recently and I'm still having the link local issues!! Anybody out there got any suggestions? I'm thinking it has something to do with my ApEx configuration...

Any news on a possible package Greg?!

Firstly Greg just want to say really appreciate the time your taking with helping me our here! Really good of you! Reference the link local IP allocation : I havent manually set this IP address for my Airport Express. From reading an apple Support document I think the ApEx advertises itself on two addresses, one of which being a link local address so it can always be found via the configuration utility even if there is a net woprk connectivity issue. Below is a screen shot from the Apple Airport Config utility; showing a "normal" network address and a link-local address. I have also configured my network router to assign the Airport Express a static IP address. I restarted my ApEx and my router, ran the above command again and it came back with the same results ie only the link local IP address. I pinged the 192.168.xxx.xxx IP address which the config utility was listing from my unRAID box and it pinged it no problem, its just not detecting it. Dont know if it is of relevance however, I'm not using my ApEx as a access point or anything, its on my network purely for streaming music to another room, and hopefully as acting as a sleep proxy sever! Thanks again for looking at this... Im off to work again!

Run that command Greg and it it detected it : +;eth0;IPv4;50-35-10-70\032Alex\039s\032AirPort\032Express;_sleep-proxy._udp;local =;eth0;IPv4;50-35-10-70\032Alex\039s\032AirPort\032Express;_sleep-proxy._udp;local;Alexs-AirPort-Express.local;169.254.85.73;63516

Cheers for that Greg... I'm at work at minute but I'll try when I finish and let you know! Alex

Can anybody send some help this way?!?

Greg, very much appreciated you taking the time to post the walk through for installing your script! However.com, All bonjour advertised services from my unRAID box are dying 30-40 seconds after the box has gone to sleep . Its been a very quick trial as I only have an hour before starting work, however this is where I'm at so far... Copied the required packaged both PythonDNS and Python to /boot/extras and installed without reboot. Installed your script to /boot/scripts/. Installed your modified WebGUI and S3Sleep addon. Added the script call line to the Sleep Settings with eth0 <myip> and <my-unRAID-HW-ADD>. Rebooted. Selected Sleep Now from the WebGUI, sever went to sleep after 5-8 seconds. Tried connecting from my Mac... No connection. Checked Bonjour Browser... Saw services advertised for 30 seconds, then the disappeared. Woke my Server and ran the script from console to see any errors... Saw none. Restarted my Airport Express ( for info the APEx is showing the sleep proxy service on BonjourBrowser) Tried Sleep again, same issues... Wrote this and now heading to work! haha Any ideas? UPDATE: Well, I've never looked at a python script in my life never mind debugged one, but i ran : python -m trace --trace /boot/scripts/sleepproxyclient.py eth0 192.168.1.67 00:25:90:38:2d:a4 | grep sleepproxyclient.py > debug.txt I hoped to get an output of where the script is failing, as it brings up no error message or issue when I run it. It seems to end on the "No sleep proxy" arguement, although I can defo confirm there is one showing on the network on my BonjourBrowser. Hope this helps cause I'm way out of my depth! haha sleepproxyclient.py(22): import dns.update sleepproxyclient.py(23): import dns.query sleepproxyclient.py(24): import dns.rdtypes

Hahaha! Two hours of my life I'll never get back! That would be brilliant mate, thanks again for your time! Alex

Definitely leaving this one with you Greg... Just spent the last two hours trying to get python to compile ( don't know why it wouldn't, I've done it before!!) and also trying to find a slackware package for netifaces... Failed miserably on both!! Haha

Greg, Thanks for letting me know! Was just logging on to ask! Haha. Thanks again! Alex

@peter_sm Thanks for your post, but I think not. If I understand correctly, and please correct me if I'm wrong, your script is for a linux based client which if it cannot contact the unRAID server, it will send a magic packet to wake it up? The pro's of registering with the sleep proxy is it is not OS dependant, or even reliant on pre-installed scripts. Any device which tries to access the unRAID share will cause the Sleep Proxy device, be it a ATV2/3 in the above usage, or my Airport Express, will send the WOL magic packet to the unRAID server. All that is required is for the unRAID server to register itself, which hopefully the package Greg is using will do!

That would be brilliant if you could! Cheers mate!

Dear All, Ever since I decided to build my unRAID server, I have looked into the possibility of somehow allowing my unRAID box to wake from sleep when accessed. After trawling the internet and not really finding anything helpful, I came across the phrase 'Wake On Demand'. This, it seemed, was exactly what I was looking for. However, this turned out to be a phrase for an Apple specific implementation known as Bonjour Sleep Proxy. This, simply put, allows for a computer to register its bonjour / Avahi services with a proxy right before going to sleep. The proxy then keeps these services visible and 'Alive' on the network until someone or something tried to access them. It then sends a WOL packet to wake up the sleeping computer, and then passes the request onto the now awake computer. What is required is for the device, typically an Apple device, is to register itself. This is where until recently I'd hit a deadend for any Linux based OS. Until I found this Debian / Ubuntu implementation : https://github.com/awein/SleepProxyClient Would anybody out there be willing to port this, or at least give me some guidance so I can attempt it myself?! IF it is possible I think it would be hugely beneficial to any of the thousands of unRAID users out here who would like ths Wake On Demand feature!! Please leave any feedbak, good or bad!! Alex

I moved the package from /boot/packages folder into the /boot/Extra folder plus removed the ultra.cfg file. Additionaly I removed all simple-features related go script entries. Then I rebooted the server but the result is the same as it was before. I think I'm not the only one with that issue looking at the reply #485 from here:http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12698.new;topicseen#new Maybe we continue there as this is the better place to cover? Just posting to say I have the exact same issue... Although the sleep setting are being applied to my go script, it always defaults to disabled in the GUI, after hitting "Apply" or returning to the sleep menu.
