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.
