This project is in alpha stage. It runs fine on my machine, however I need more feedback from the community to be sure that it's is good enough. So, please test and report your experience!
==Introduction==
Running servers when they are not needed can waste a considerable amount of energy. This project aims at sending Amahi server to suspend or poweroff when not needed.
To do so, Amahi Energy Saver regularly scans for connected clients. If no client is connected, the system suspends after a configurable period.
Amahi Energy Saver also scans shares. As long as shares are accessed, the server does not suspends. If set up to do so, Squeezeboxserver is monitored to prevent suspend while Sqeezeboxes are turned on.
When the system is to be used again, simply wake it up with WOL (ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN). There are many tools to generate WOL packets, and it is even possible to wake your server over the internet (good link: http://www.wakeonlan.me/).
One can also define scheduled wake ups and periods during which the server shall stay awake no matter what.
