WOL Scheduling (Monthly / Term Times)? #44

Open thatley opened 7 years ago

thatley commented 7 years ago

Hi,

We support around 68 primary schools for their IT and have just piloted WOL for a school that it trying to reduce costs with electricity due to tight school budgets! WOL also makes it more practical to turn on and off x30 PC's in a suite, especially as they're in cages under a desk!

The program has been working perfectly, but it's just dawned on me that schools are only open during term time, so I don't want to wake up the PC's in school holidays!

Can a 'from' and 'to' date be added to the schedule section to make it easier to setup for all 3 terms throughout the year?

Also, any reason the 'Month' schedule option is greyed out?

Many thanks,

Trevor Hatley

Hi, very glad to hear what you are doing there. I have to think about the from/to idea. As for the month schedule, it actually just never got finished, simply do to a lack of time. I would like to revisit it.

I was just discussing this - and the lack of a "holiday schedule" or the like. I don't have a clean solution to offer right at this moment.
