I have a scenario that I think PowerScheduler++ might help with (with some adaptation). I was wondering if you might consider adding it to the plugin.

I use my MP Server as a file server for the house. If I ever want to access the data from a non-MP computer, I use a WOL magic packet to wake up the server, however unless I am copying large amounts of data the MP Server goes back to sleep after 5 minutes (causing me no end of grief if I have a file open).

Would it be possible to have an option in PS++ where the user can enter a list of IP addresses. PS++ could then ping each of those IP addresses in turn (say, once every minute), and only when ALL of the IP addresses are off-line for 5 mins will PS++ allow the server go back to sleep.

What do you think? Useful? Possible?

Thanks
