shutdown on inactivity

I have two ReadyNAS Ultra that i use for movies storage.

I have configured XBMC to automatically wake-on-lan the NAS when it starts.

Problem is that i now need to find a way to automatically shutdown the NAS after a period of inactivity (say 2 hours) because i dont want to let the servers run 24/7 and it is annoying to have to physically shut them down all the time.

Someone told me a couple of months ago that it was possible to write a script to do it. But i don't have the necessary knowledge to do it myself. If someone can do it, i can pay money for it (through paypal).

Any help ?

thanks

  • I have my RNDU2000 movie box set to timer shut down at 1.00am every day with no on timers. So if it gets turned on in the afternoon or evening it will turn off and not operate on days when it is not needed.
