December 13, 200916 yr I am almost finished writing a windows home sever plug in which used unRaid to backup the home server shares. Plugin is pretty simple, it wakes the unRaid server, runs microsoft synctoy, turns off the unraid sever using a vbscript. As this is nearly complete, there are a couple things I could use a little help with... 1. For display in the WHS add-in I am parsing the unRaid servers home page so I can display a quick view of the space on the unRaid Server. (for those interested I also wrote a small windows app that displays this from a tray icon) simular to the drobo software.... for this I could use some html files of the unRaid standard home page which is what I am using for the parse, ones wth different hardware configs than my own, just for testing. So if some of you guys could send me a html of your home unRaid page, that would help. (see image - arrow indicated parsed info) I am speaking of). 2. Does anyone know how to automatically close a vbscript window? my shutdown script runs perfectly, but the script window sits there intil something is clicked, would be nice if it just went away when done... 3. Under the usage scenario I listed, is there a period of time that should be recommeded to allow the unRaid server to run after a backup so unRaid can do what it does? If so would that be different for large and small transfers? In other words if it should be allowed to run for x period of time would that x period of time be the same for a couple hundred megs and a couple hundred gigs? I already have the setting, but need to know what to recommend if this is the case. 4. If there is a better way of getting unRaid info than parsing the basic unRaid home page, I would be happy to know it or if someone could write a page that would be easier to parse that could be just dropped onto the flash drive and work, I have a few people very interested in considering unRaid for the usage scenario I use it for and I am sure they would not be to adept in tinkering with the unRaid software, so because this is WHS add-on, I am targeting as non tech of people just as WHS does. I also realize this type of thing could be used without WHS, systems could run synctoy or another piece of software and maybe at some point I will do something with that, for now though...whs. Any other help or sugestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks, Tom
