SageTV service has insomnia! (forgot how to sleep)

[ellweber]

Running a client/server system, I had finally gotten everything to sleep cooperatively.

For a while I couldn't get the server to sleep because it was engaged in some housekeeping or the like every 5 minutes but I was able to set WinXP Power Options to sleep in 5 minutes and mostly it sleeps. Also, I had to set the check interval for SageTray to 330 seconds (on another, maintenance computer) to keep that task from resetting the sleep timer.

The problem is that sometime in the last few days something has changed. Now the server will not sleep at all. In the logs I found a line that reads:

Ministry is waiting for 180 sec

This occurs every 3 minutes in the log. I don't know if this has changed recently or not but, what does this do???

I found a line in the Sage.Properties file that reads:

mstry_engine_update_frequency=180000

Is this what is setting the timer? What is the purpose? Can I change it to 360000 without causing any other problems?

Maybe this parameter is totally unrelated!

Answers or any help would be greatly appreciated. I just would like to have this system sleep when it is not in use!

Thanks,

Lynn
