Comment on Automatic Shutdown/Wake Up on FreeNAS by sandreas

I recently wrote an autoshutdown daemon in python, which is a bit more sophisticated. It checks for SSH / Console activity, filesystem activity and mapped shares. Advantages:

- Does not shut down if a local sync via ssh is performed
- Shuts down if no share is mapped or used and no other activity is detected

Link: http://fynder.de/autoshutdown.txt

Install:
- Open SSH connection, type
mount -uw / # mount / rw
wget -c http://fynder.de/autoshutdown.txt -O /usr/local/sbin/autoshutdown.py
chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/autoshutdown.py

To run at startup an /conf/base/etc/rc.local must exist:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/sbin/autoshutdown.py start

Don't forget:
chmod +x /conf/base/etc/rc.local

Daemon should work after reboot, test it with:
cat /tmp/autoshutdown.pid

Feedback is welcome

Denis,

Thanks so much for your posting of the shell script. Worked perfect!

Also, thanks for this article. I am using this to shutdown my FreeNAS8 after my VMware Server finishes shutting down after power outage. Obviously, both my VMServer and FreeNAS are plugged into the same CyberPower UPS. I have tested this process out like 50 times now and it's never failed. Great peace of mind!

Thanks again to all!

Doug

Just in case the system still doesn't sleep easily, you can also consider Narcolepsy 2.0:

What about something like this:
Setup up a low power device (hacked pogoplug?) with a linux variation. This box intercepts/listens to requests on the network to access the Freenas. If there is a request, a WOL packet is sent to the server? I'm a bit of a do-it-yourselfer and this is the route that I'm looking at. I think this would be a more universal aproach to the problem. E.g. it would solve the problem of say, an android device wants to access a music/movie file on the nas without having to root the device and setup some kind of script.

Your thoughts?

also save the above script as say shutdown.sh

and save it on your nas

though some one would like this one also..

i found the above script not to work on a freenas embedded system..... but found a script that uses sh script instead and works great on and embedded 8.3 freenas..... still using the cron job and set it to 15min or 10.... and running with sh then path to file... the below script works great for embedded.. if [ "`id -u`" = "0" ]; then touch /var/log/check_if_up.log # Create log if not exist if [ `ls -la /var/log/check_if_up.log | awk '{print $5}'` -gt 1048576 ]; then mv /var/log/check_if_up.log /var/log/check_if_up.old # Backup log >1meg touch /var/log/check_if_up.log # Create a new log fi ping -c 4 -q 192.168.2.139 > /tmp/check_1.tmp # Test to see if 1st Host is up ping -c 4 -q 192.168.2.2 > /tmp/check_2.tmp # Test to see if 2nd Host is up if [ "`cat /tmp/check_1.tmp | awk '{print $1}' | tail -n 1`" = "round-trip" ]; then echo The 1st Host is up... `date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"` >> /var/log/check_if_up.log elif [ "`cat /tmp/check_2.tmp | awk '{print $1}' | tail -n 1`" = "round-trip" ]; then echo The 1st Host is down... `date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"` >> /var/log/check_if_up.log echo The 2nd Host is up... `date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"` >> /var/log/check_if_up.log else echo All Hosts are down.
