reboot at midnight

[scottsams]

or whenever...

i found reboot, found system uptime. i am looking for absolute time - i.e. 12:00 AM, or w/e. is there a way to do that so i can set my machine to reboot at a certain time?

you would need to use the schedulghost plugin. this will allow you to trigger an event at a specific time of day and from that event you can set the reboot into action..

I do want to make one note on this. EG will freeze the reboot if there is unsaved data. I am not sure but I also think that if you have open dialogs it will as well. the python script below will circumvent the halting of the reboot. the first 2 lines you can change to True or False, these are the lines that determine whether to save any data in an open dialog or to save tree data. You will want to place this into a Python Script action and put the action before the Reboot action. I have not tested this code but it should work. the only thing I may have to change is the use of CallAfter. i may need to use eg.AsTasklet instead.

Code: Select all

SAVE_TREE = False
SAVE_OPEN_DIALOGS = False

import wx

if eg.document.frame is not None:
    for dialog in eg.document.frame.openDialogs[:]:
        if SAVE_OPEN_DIALOGS:
            try:
                if dialog.panel.isDirty:
                    wx.CallAfter(dialog.DispatchEvent, wx.ID_OK)
            except AttributeError:
                pass
        wx.CallAfter(dialog.Destroy)

if eg.document.isDirty:
    if SAVE_TREE:
        eg.document.Save()
    else:
        eg.document.isDirty = False

I would post this question in the Webserver support thread under the plugins thread.

It seems as tho there is something wrong with the creation of the socket.
