Description
 
 

 

(1) Standard action

Monitoring checks the sources periodically for activity. When no source is active, the standard action (1) is running after the delay time has elapsed. 

You can choose between these standard actions:

  • Do nothing, disables the client monitoring. This is useful when you only use the calendar for uptime management.
  • Suspend, puts your server into suspended mode
  • Hibernate, puts your server into hibernation.
  • Shut down, shuts your server down and powers off.
  • User action, runs a user defined batch file
(2) Delay time

The standard action is running after the delay time (2) has elapsed. When activity is detected during the delay time, the timer is reset and the delay time starts again. Note: When you choose a very long value for the delay time, chances are high that your server never goes into standby.

(3) Services

When an action is executed, Lights-Out stops specific services first. This guarantees that critical services are kept in a valid state or that blocking services do not interfere. You can add additional services like a mail server separated with a comma. On resume , these services are started again.

(4) Run on resume

You can run a script, batch file or a program when the server resumes. This program runs in the context of the local service account, so be careful.

(5) Info icon

When a certain action is not supported by your system, an information symbol is displayed and the action is removed from the list. You can move the mouse over the symbol to get more details.
