Automatically sleeping and waking PC

Post by alex350r »

Hi Guys,

I have the following schedule setup with SAB -

3.00pm resume
4.00pm pause
9.00pm resume
10.00am pause

I'm looking to automatically sleep my PC when the schedule is paused and then wake up to resume. I'm thinking of setting up the bios so the PC does WOL on a schedule (I have an Abit IP35 Pro and pretty sure this is an option). As for the automatic sleep does SAB sleep if the queue is paused? and can I tell it to sleep only if the queue remains paused for a certain amount of time?

I have set the queue on finish to sleep the PC and it has just put the PC to sleep and it's paused so I guess this does work correctly?

Thanks,

Alex

SABnzbd never sleeps.
However, it can make the PC go to sleep when the queue becomes empty.
Or you can program a pause and let the Windows scheduler make the system
sleep a few minutes later.
