This script is based on systemd and does not make use of pm-utils. It has been tested on Debian 8 (Jessie) with Tvheadend build 4.0.8~jessie. It should work on systems that meet the dependencies listed below.

Prerequisites

Installation

  1. Copy the files from this git repository to your system.
  2. Install the dependencies
    • rtcwake (package util-linux, part of Debian 8)
    • netstat (package net-tools, part of Debian 8)
    • curl

Configuration

Edit /etc/autosuspend according to your needs. Credentials for tvheadend are required, e.g.

Details on the configuration of system activity can be found in the Ubuntu users wiki (german).
