bonienl Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Can I suggest you put the simple-features "tgz" package in the directory "/boot/extra" and reboot your system!? There is no need to add an installation line in your 'go' file when the file is placed in this directory, unRAID will automatically install it. I suspect something got mixed up....

EdgarWallace Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 That doesn't help. I was trying Firefox and Safari on my Mac as well as Explorer on my Win7 PC. It only reports in syslog: Jan 16 17:16:00 Tower s3_sleep: killing s3_sleep process 30749 Jan 16 17:16:00 Tower s3_sleep: s3_sleep process ID 14195 started, To terminate it, type: s3_sleep -q Quote Link to comment
Hoopster Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 The nature of my unRAID server is that it is (for the moment) strictly a media server. I store photos, videos, movies and music on it that does not always need to be accessed. I want to put my unRAID box to sleep automatically after the disks spin down and wake it again when it is needed. I am running v5 beta 14. The sleep script on the wiki page uses "echo 3> /proc/acpi/sleep" which does not put the server in an s3 sleep state with the latest kernels. I have Simple Features installed and the "Sleep" button works perfectly. Is there anyway to modify the sleep script to use whatever method Simple Features is using to sleep the server 5 minutes after disk spin down? This question seems to have been asked before, but, I do not see a definitive answer in this thread. It is likely this has been answered and I just missed it. If so, I apologize in advance for the reading comprehension fail. After I get the sleep portion reliably working, I'll tackle the WOL. Right now, I can successfully wake the server by pressing the blinking power button, by specific keyboard command or a specific time of day. Eventually, the preferred method is WOL though a magic packet. ethtools eht0 shows that "pumbg" is supported and wake is set to "g" so this indicates the NIC supports WOL, correct?

peter_sm Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 If you are looking for a SW to do wake the server you find one here -> http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-cmd.aspx There are also a lot of app on android market that do the same thing. And I think you can change the value for Internal Time-out (minutes): the get it to sleep earlier. //Peter Quote Link to comment

Even though the NIC supports WOL, it appears my BIOS may not; however, my concern at the moment has more to do with automating the server sleep function before I move on to waking it up. Speeding_Ant's Simple Features Sleep button works great, but, I don't know the code behind it to try it in a script. Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment

No matter what I put there unRAID will never sleep if checkTCP is set to yes. Value should be set to "0.00" and it represents no traffic (=0 bytes) being received anymore on the ethernet interface. If you machine doesn't go into sleep state, there problably is something running in the background creating transmission traffic. Quote Link to comment
kricker Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ahh I thought that value was like a threshold amount. Something in the vein of anything less than this amount counts as no traffic. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ahh I thought that value was like a threshold amount. Something in the vein of anything less than this amount counts as no traffic. No it is an absolute value, though the value is measured over the last x minutes (script uses 5 minutes). You can change the monitoring period, i.e. make it shorter though chances are then higher that a short silence may cause an unwanted sleep state. Quote Link to comment
kricker Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 So if that value is set to 10, would it need exactly 10 bytes of traffic over the last 5 minutes cause it to sleep? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm just trying to understand it better. What is the Linux command to check what amount of bytes are currently being transmitted? I'd like to be able to turn different plugins off and check to see which may be transmitting data and how much. Quote Link to comment

You should have installed the "bwm-ng" package, this is also used by the sleep script to monitor the TCP activity. Type: bwm-ng on the command prompt to see real-time measurements.

Quote Link to comment
kricker Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Well I finally got around to installing the bwm-ng package. I have set my sleep script to a value of: noTCP='500.00' # what constitutes absence of TCP activity Based on our earlier conversation, I take it this means 500.00 KB over x minutes, which I have set to 2: extrnlTimeoutTicks=2 # ticks of no external activity before sleep; only after spindown+internal countdown So the drives spindown. Then over the next 2 minutes if it does not receive 500.00 KBs of traffic total the system should then enter sleep. Correct? Right now it is not going to sleep. Maybe 500.00 is too low a value. While running bwm-ng I can see a trickle of constant activity (I have no clue what it is). Maybe over those 2 minutes that trickle adds up to more than 500.00. Quote Link to comment
kricker Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Well, now I've tried it with a value of 2048000.00, figuring it is bytes and not KB. Yet that didn't work either. I'd really like to get this to work. Currently if I am playing a 30 minute show, enough of it gets cached in RAM, that the disks spin down and unRAID goes to sleep during the playback. If I can successfully get the network check working I can alleviate this issue. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 You really should leave that value to "0.00". Changing it to "some" value means the monitor needs to see *exactly* that amount of bytes in the measured period to stop. This is very unlikely to happen. The intend is to observe no tcp activity, the value 0 means nothing has been exchanged in that period. Btw there is an updated version of the sleep package, it now also contains the bwm-ng program. See "SimpleFeatures". Quote Link to comment
kricker Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thanks for the reply. So even though I can see a trickle of activity running by using bwm-ng, I should still be fine with the value of 0.00? I'll checkout that plugin. I've been meaning to anyhow. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 If something in the background causes continues traffic exchange then there will be never a silence (no activity) period, and hence your system won't go to sleep. In that case don't use the TCP inactivity condition or find out what is causing this continuous traffic and change its behaviour. Quote Link to comment
