June 21, 201610 yr My server is on 6.1.8 and I installed the S3 Sleep and System Buttons plugins, ad I used the latter to send the server to sleep. The WebGUI showed "System in sleep mode" at the bottom of the page, and then it went totally unresponsive. However, I can still hear the fans running, but now I'm unable to access the system in any way: no WebGUI, not Putty, can't see it on the network, nothing. I don't want to just press the reset button; is there a way to shut down the system in a way to minimize the damage If I can't do an orderly shutdown as usual?
June 21, 201610 yr Author Never mind, I restarted it and it went to parity check, no harm done (I think).
June 21, 201610 yr I assume that you tried to wake up your server from another computer by sending the Magic Packet? If so and it didn't succeed then check if your system supports wake on Magic Packet. Telnet into the server and type: ethtool eth0 the output should include "Wake-on: g". If it doesn't, you can set it with this command: ethtool -s eth0 wol g
