February 16, 20251 yr A simple on and off timer for the server. You set a switch-off time and a start time, you choose on which day of the week this should happen. If any jobs prevent this, there is a log entry or a push message. A so-called energy schedule, (Synology) see screenshot. This should be made possible in the background by a cronjob and rtcwake (just an idea). Why should this be implemented in a server OS? Green IT, save power and money 😀 there are servers that do not need to run 27/7 bs. a Jellfyfin only server, that is enough if it only runs during the day at the times when I am awake. A backup server does not have to run 24/7 it is enough if it starts 1 hour before the backup is done, it can be switched off again, is also a safety distance aspect a server that is not online cannot be compromised.
