I have been leaving my masterbackend and slave/frontend on 24X7.

I would like to reduce power consumption a little.

I searched but I could not find a howto for just doing hibernate and resume with a button (I guessed tied to a script) on my a415 happauge dogbone remote.

Can anyone point me to a howto?

Running R5e0 (Until the new release comes out with SD support).

nvram-wakeup is what you should investigate.

I run a single BE/FE that I never put to sleep, so I'm probably talking out my butt here. I'm pretty sure the back end can be set to wake-on-lan when the front end wakes up to connect. The trick is can you wake the Front end PC from a remote? I'm not sure you can with a Hauppauge remote. The trick is that the connection from the receiver to the motherboard has to be configured to do the wake up. (like a Wake-On-Lan, or an old Modem's Wake-on-Ring.) If a USB keyboard can do it, why not a remote?

I have the iMON VFD which includes a remote and has a connection to the powersupply jumper on the montherboard. Again with the warning about talking out my butt, because I never hooked-up this connection, but supposededly that jumper allows the remote to power-on the pc from off. Plus, it has a myth-compatable VFD.

Thanks for the nvram suggestion. Just to be clear, I am only looking to do a hibernate or sleep and wake for my slavefrontend. Right now I am not using it to record.
