How does autoshutdown plugin work?
What do these mean
Cycles / Seconds?
Shutdown command which is better for power and can it also wake back up if someone starts to use plex etc.. ?

I have never used it but maybe the readme helps? https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…own/blob/master/README.md

I was looking on OMVextras page for the readme never even thought to look on github. Thanks Rye

is the shutdown command better than sleep?
It's hard to say. It depends on the hardware. It is important for me whether it starts again on request via WakeOnLan. My Asrock itx board only boots via WakeOnLan if it has been shut down via autoshutdown. This also works in the event of a short-term power interruption/short-term power failure. After shutdown, WOL requires normal boot from disk. A Brix J3160 from Gigabyte, for example, only starts via WakeOnLan if it has been sent to sleep via autoshutdown. I think that the hibernation mode costs a bit more power and the OMV is available again faster via WOL. The data/system is in RAM. In the event of a short-term power failure, however, the PC will not boot up again in sleep mode via WOL.

1) The task of the Autoshutdown plugin is to shut down the system. You can select which tests must be passed before the system may be shut down (e.g. no user logged in or processor idle). If any of the selected tests are not passed, the system will not shut down.
2) You can specify that the system is not shut down immediately when all tests are passed, but only when all tests are passed cyclically in succession. The "seconds" are the delay between one test and the next.
3) depends
4) Powering up the system is a separate process from this. However, the autoshutdown plugin is able to switch it on at certain times, even at different times per weekday or only on certain weekdays.
If one wants the system to turn on when the user tries to use the service, please read about Wake on Lan. In short: Make sure that WOL is supported by the network interface and BIOS, that WOL is enabled in the BIOS and OMV, and make sure that your client sends a magic wake-up message. Once set up, it works perfectly! Even the combination of WOL and timed switch-on!
