Sage Server won't go into Standby

[jhendrix]

I have tried to get my sageTV server to go into standby or even have the hard drives spin down without any luck.

I am running v6.5.16 Beta.
I am running it as a service.
I'm running comskip, and have comskip monitor set to check directories every 10 minutes.
My recording directories are on local HDs.
My media center import directories are UNC paths to a server.

I have my hard drives set to spin down after 3 minutes. (which they never do)
I have my system set to go into standby in 5 minutes. (which it never does)

I have read that others are able to get their systems to into standby.

Is there anything in my setup that would stop sage from going into standby?

Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Wht not use sagetvservice (p.14 on manual)?

I am running it in service mode (see the 3rd line in my post above)

How often does your system do a scan to refresh imported media? You could try changing this to manual.

Also try turning comskip monitor off incase thats keeping it awake.

Also make sure you have things like windows update, java update and stuff like that turned off, or set to manual update.

Turn off as much as possible and see if will go into standby, then switch things back on that you need one at a time to find the culprit.
