[SlimDevices: Beginners] Can Controller turn off and on the SqueezeCenter server?

[moley6knipe]

Plugins can help with restarting/shutting down/rebooting a Windows PC,
but it's also possible to have a SqueezeBox/Duet/Transporter wake your
PC for you.

All the devices support Wake-On-Lan, so (assuming your connection from
PC to router is made via cable and not wireless, and your ethernet
card/PC/OS all support WOL, which most will) when you switch your
SqueezeBox etc on your computer will switch on.

I've set my PC to got to standby after 1 hour, and hibernate after 1.5
hours, and my SB3 can wake the PC from hibernate in about 6-8 secs,
which isn't too bad.  Works really well.  Then I've got a scheduled
task to wake the PC at 02:00 and do all of the Windows Updates, virus
update and scan and SC rescan.
