Feature Request - Add Time Limit to "Keep Server Awake"

Beitrag von whoareyou »

Hi, Was wondering if you would consider additional options for the client's "Enable monitoring to keep server awake" setting i.e.

So in addtion to the current:
Enable Monitoring to keep server awake

And add a few additional options such as:
Enable Monitoring for 30minutes
Enable Monitoring for 60 minutes
Enable Monitoring for 120 minutes.

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks,

the time should run as soon as the client is online, yes?

"The time should run as soon as the client is online, yes?"
For my windows clients that would work, but in case of something like a PI not sure that is best approach, unless there is way to put PI to sleep that I don't know about.

For example, I have PI's that are active 24 x 7, but for a listening session only access server a couple of hours for a media library. To prevent shutdown, i enable the monitoring, and when I remember, I disable the monitoring after I finish listening.

Thanks for getting back to me...

Thanks for clarification.

For the PI's there's already another possible way: Disable monitoring but use the context menu and disable Lights-Out on the server for 1, 2 or 4h.

Thanks, and that should work for me. Never thought of doing it that way.
