Wake on Lan script?

[trogggy]

Anyone?

I tried using the advanced wol plug-in from the xbmc.org repo...
Tried an ancient xbox script I found at xbmc.org...
I have wol enabled on my server, I can wake it from my pi or pc - now I want the xbox to be able to give it a kick!
Any help gratefully received.

That's what I was using back in the days when my server was not running 24/7. Use autoexec.py to run it at boot or map it to a remote button.

This next script is to be run on a Linux server, it check if XBMC is running on your selected client and shut down /put to sleep the server upon inactivity.

###########################
# HTPC suspend script     #
# author: Hans van Schoot #
###########################
# TODO list: build in a check for ftp server activity

# The purpose of this script is to suspend the machine if it's idle.
# the script checks:
# - if a lockfile is present (this way the script can be bypassed when needed)
# - if XBMC is running, and if it's playing
# - if there is keyboard or mouse activity
# - if transmission download speed is too low to be keeping the system awake
# - if there are samba shares in use (READ ON FOR THIS!)

# To function properly this script needs a couple things:
# - from apt-get: xprintidle
# - from apt-get: transmissioncli
# - the gnome-power-manager script (installed in /usr/bin) from AgenT: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8309702&postcount=16
# - xbmc web server enabled without a password (can be found in xmbc settings under network) 
#     (if you don't need xbmc, you can comment out the xbmc section or put the xbmcDelay on 0)
# - to be able to use "sudo smbstatus" (so rootaccess, or if you run the script on userlevel this can be fixed by adding
#     "your_username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/smbstatus" visudo (run "sudo visudo" in terminal))

# if you're running a minimal ubuntu install (without a x session, like gnome or kde) you can't use/don't need
# the xprintidle stuff. you can remove this from the script, or just don't install xprintidle and put the xDelay on 0

Oupps missed the part where you saying that you tried it. lol
Can you WOL your server/PC from another PC ?
A debug log would confirm if the script is getting executed correctly.

[trogggy]

Yep, starts no problem from pc / xbmc.
Log trying script and add-on:

[BuZz]

Please open a ticket against 3.4dev on the bugtracker, with debug log, and then run the 3.3 release instead of the nightly which is not meant for everyday use

[trogggy]

Arse! (me, not you).

I tried both on 3.3, forgot I'd switched to a nightly (to try them again!)
Log of script failing on 3.3:
http://www.xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=44095

Just to be clear - and rule out me having done something stupid - I just stick the MAC address of the server at the bottom of the script in place of the '00:00etc' and stick the script in xbmc/scripts...?

[BuZz]

is it supposed to have the broadcast address in or should <broadcast> work ?

check this for details though

http://www.nyayapati.com/srao/2010/03/w ... sing-xbmc/

I guess you could try by putting the broadcast address in ?

note the quoting actually for the broadcast line - you might need that ?

[trogggy]

Woohoo!
All good.

Downloaded xbmc.script.wol from Sourceforge courtesy of aturlov:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc-s ... rce=navbar
Unzipped, put in 'wakey wakey' folder, FTPd to xbmc/scripts.
Context menu to input server mac address, then click and wakey wakey!

And it works with build 32050.
Thanks to Xphazer and Buzz for your inputs.

You can also try this (download with SVN Repo Installer). Configure computer names and MACs in plugin settings.

See readme.txt if you want to put that in autoexec.py to run at startup.

[trogggy]

Thanks Dan. I'll give that a try and post the result.


Edit: That works perfectly. Thanks for your help.

@Dan

Would it be possible to stick this in the addons4xboxinstaller?

Thanks a lot Dan!

[Dan Dar3]

If it's because it now appears in Addons4xbox Installer that would be Kozz to thank to.
