I'd like to turn off my server at night. Sometimes I stop at 12, sometimes at 1 or 2. If I could ask "is someone watching?" And it returns false, I could postpone the shutdown.

The current solution is to always turn off at 2 and turn on at 7.

How do you guys handle the situation?

Just curious, why do you turn it off at night? Mine only uses ~2 watts when idling

Edit; more like 7 watts but still pretty good

2W is insane. I wonder how much it actually drains from the wall.

My server idles at 30-35W and turning it off for 6 hours at night (cheaper electricity) would save like 4€ a year. Its cheap here tho

I have a meter I could test with if I wanted, although I’m not sure why iStat would lie
