I'm using an "original" server running 4.4.2.  I use the machine mainly for archival purposes.  Is there a relatively easy way to suspend and wake  the server?  I searched and found many articles.  However, I'm not the most technical guy and I quickly got lost.  Any advice?

Do you have unMENU installed? I use that to put it to s3 sleep and use a magic packet to wake it up

 

Edit: Probably the wrong section for this thread. Better off under general support I think.

Do you have unMENU installed?

 

I don't have unMENU installed.  If installed, does it require a script to send the WOL packet?  

No, you need to have WOL enabled on the card (in your BIOS normally if it's onboard NIC)

 

I can't take credit for this but I can't find the thread that I got it from but here's what I use (I've attached the files to this post):

 

I put the batch file on my desktop (so it's easy to find, you can put it anywhere)

 

Put the other file i've zipped up in c:\program files\ - you can also put this anywhere you'll just need to edit the location in the batch file

 

Edit the mac address in batch file so it matches the one in you unRAID system

 

All you need to do then to wake the system is to run the batch file

Thanks Carpet3.  I've haven't had a chance to try it yet.  Will try and report back.
