Hi,
I use the serial plugin to control my TV using Rob's (rah99) serial files (LG Plasma). My problem is that when the serial plugin is enabled the computer never goes into its standby state.
I thought i would use the scheduler (in settings panel) to force a standby: ie
Set a schedule to run every 30 minutes and:
1 - Is TheaterTek running? No = goto 2
2 - Is winamp playing? No = goto 3
3 - Is the screensaver running? Yes = goto 4
4 - Standby
This works except that Girder triggers its first schedule exactly on the first minute change after it starts - (then 30 minutes later) I am currently testing it using 'execute notepad'. It does not affect my script as the screensaver is set to a 40 minutes trigger - but may become a problem later when I start seriously using the scheduler.
is this a bug or am I being stupid?
Regards
Simon.
