Re: PowerScheduler++ Test Versions - 1.1.7.1 for MP 1.2.0 Beta

Thanks for all the effort you have put into this plugin.

I have switched to using this, from the standard Power Scheduler, as there there were problems when using a Kingston SSD and waking again after the first hibernate cycle.

PowerScheduler++ has had no problems resuming from S4 Hibernate.

But what I would prefer is to is wake from S5 Shutdown.

Resuming from Hibernate or rebooting take about the same time on my system, so a clean reboot every power on would be my favorite choice.

I tried using the S5 shutdown option in the settings, but although the wakeup timer is set before shutdown, the system does not wake up.

Is it possible to make it work this way, or if not, can the system S4 hibernate without writing the hibernate file, so it always reboots when waking up?

Write a batch file called "mytest.bat":
if %0 == wakeup (
echo wakeup
cmd.exe /k mytestprogram.bat

Your sample is for the wakeup case, am I right?
If argument wakeup is true, than write a message "wakeup" and start "mytestprogram.bat".
It doesn't work for me.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Sorry for the last post, I had a browser crash and did not realize that it was already sent.

What I meant is:
As a command you could enter e.g. "cmd.exe /C <mypath>\mytestprogram.bat". The argument ("suspend" or "wakeup") is added to the command provided when it is called by PS++. So what is really called is either "cmd.exe /C <mypath>\mytestprogram.bat suspend" or "cmd.exe /C <mypath>\mytestprogram.bat wakeup". In your program code you can query the argument to decide if there is something to do or not:

if %1==suspend (
  echo parameter is suspend > mytestprogram.log
  rem do something...
) else (
  echo parameter is wakeup > mytestprogram.log
  rem do nothing ...
)

It is not possible for a PC to wakeup from S5. This has nothing to do with PowerScheduler or Windows but is a hardware issue.

BTW: Do you use Windows XP or Win7/Vista? For Win7/Vista you should definitifely not use "Hibernate" (S4), because otherwise away mode will not work (Windows feature). Instead you should use "Hybrid sleep" which is a combination of S3 and S4 - it saves data to disk (S4) to survive a possible power loss but regularly resumes from ram (S3) which is very fast.

Hey Michael,

I'm just to stupid today. Nothing works:

What is not working? Enable extensive logging for PS++ and have a look at the logs for the time of suspend / wakeup. The call to the external command should be logged.

Addition: The external command can be a batch file (*.cmd or *,bat), so you do not have to call it with "cmd.exe /C".

Do step by step for debugging:

• Select your script file (test.bat) from the file dialog right to the text box.
• See in TvServer log if it gets called without errors.
• If this works you can work on the script code itself.

Re: PowerScheduler++ Test Versions - 1.1.7.1 for MP 1.2.0 Beta

I have a possible angle on resolving the mute and awake from away mode / sleep after away mode issue. I found a utility called NirCmd, which can UnMute the system. It could be run after a resume to UnMute the system:

NirCmd - Windows command line tool

Thanks for this tip!
I had the mute issue sometimes when waking from away mode. With this cmd tool I let the system unmute after every resume.
It works perfect!

Enable extensive logging for PS++ and have a look at the logs for the time of suspend / wakeup. The call to the external command should be logged. Do step by step for debugging:
First make sure that cmd.exe without any arguments is called (select it with the file browser button right to the text box).
Then add the "/C C:\test.bat" to the textbox and see if your script is being called (let it do something you can verify - e.g. write to a log file)

Hallo Michael,

I've done what you've sad and thats what I get:

You are right; "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C C:\test.bat" does produce an error. Obviously a complex command string is not acceptable. But you can enter "C:\test.bat" which will work fine (just tested).

Re: PowerScheduler++ Test Versions - 1.1.7.1 for MP 1.2.0 Beta

hi, is there a work around for the system being muted after away mode?
I tried using PS ++ to run nircmd.exe command to unmute after wakeup but it does not work.(but the nircmd command works when I run it not from PS++)

At the moment I have to exit MP unmute and restart MP.. On a HTPC that does not had a keyboard.

any other ideas?

Re: PowerScheduler++ Test Versions - 1.1.7.1 for MP 1.2.0 Beta

Hi there,

Have you tried running nircmd from a bat/cmd file, and then get PS++ to call that?
