Comment(by simonwalls@…):
>> For me, any job in the jobqueue will be consumed when a slave wakes up
but
>> it is not a reason to wake up a slave to just do job.
Everybody uses Myth in a different way, because it's so flexible. If your
patch is too restrictive, it might not get accepted. Keeping it
configurable makes it suitable for lots of users, better in my opinion.
>> I also can make the DailyWakeup? period be setup for each slave
There is already a kind of Daily wakeup available for each Slave, it's
under the JobQueue settings (jobqueue start time and end time). It sounds
like you have the same need as I, and could use these rather than add new
ones - but you want the Slave to start up ''whether there are jobs or
not''. It does sound outside of Myth's purpose - perhaps you could use a
cron job from your Master to ensure it's waiting for you at 7pm even if
there are no jobs for it?
My SBE has all my tuners, and a fast processor, but no storage. It wakes
automatically for recordings under cpinkham's change (yay) then sleeps
again.
I also wake it up once a day via cron, at a time when no recordings are
likely, so that it can clear any transcodes I've queued (sometimes there
are none so it shuts down again). It would be nice to get the JobQueue to
wake it up (at the JobQueue start time for that SBE) only if there are
jobs due. That's the patch I had in mind.
BR, Simon.
