[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1149692, member: 82144"] Nothing has changed for me. This is the first time I'm looking at the code, and the first time I'm seeing the latest changes (power menu etc.). I'm trying to review and suggest improvements. Yes, if the power options are to be kept, it seems right to have them in a sub-menu. However, I would have thought that all of the options that you're showing in the screenshot (under "manage TV server") are "actions" rather than "tools". Yes, I understand. When you have a remote access interface for a service that runs with elevated privileges (ie. like the new watchdog service for the server), you need to think carefully about every interface and function that is accessible. Every function can be used by anybody. Every function is a possible security issue. This is why I am asking if these power management functions are [I]really[/I] wanted and needed. In general, from the first time that I read this thread I was not convinced that extending MediaPortal Watchdog tool is the best/right solution for collecting TV Server log files. However, I was happy to wait and see the results and hear other opinions. Now it seems like additional complexity has been added for the benefit of few people who prefer to avoid using RDP/TeamViewer etc., and so I'm more convinced that a different solution would be more appropriate.
