Wake alarm VS autoshutdown

matdb · 2. Oktober 2022

Pretty short question.

Is there something the wake alarm plugin can that the autoshutdown plugin can not?

I do not like to install plugins i have to remove afterwards, to keep the system a little cleaner.

It can wake the system up. Autoshutdown can only shut the system down.

wakealarm's only dependencies are OMV itself and python3-croniter. Keeping it installed will cause no issues.

There is a section in the autoshutdown plugin called "Wake Alarm" even with the following possibility "Set using 'Forced Uptime' begin time".

That is why I am a little confused.

Is there anything the wakealarm plugin can and the autoshutdown can not then?

Autoshutdown plugin UI.

The wakealarm plugin gives you more flexibility. You can schedule several repeating wake up times.

Ok thanks for al the information!

I have installed the plugin to check it out.

Doesn't look really useful for me. I do not know why I need more than one wake up time.

But maybe in some specific case it is useful.

Jetzt mitmachen!
