Add-In Update: LightsOut 0.8.0

By on March 25, 2009 in Add-ins & Apps, Software, Windows Home Server

Martin Rothschink’s power management add-in, LightsOut, has received an update which has now been released to the web. This is the same version of the add-in as will be shipped with Acer’s new Aspire easyStore Home Server.

Fixes and feature updates as follows:

LightsOut has been localized into French, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese, besides the already existing English and German versions.

A brief summary of the main changes:

  • Whenever a restore operation is detected, LightsOut keeps the server running for 2 hours for each selected volume
  • The help file is now opened on the server and no longer requires a LightsOut client installation
  • The Uptime diagram shows tooltip details about computers and remote access
  • A version check has been added for SB Core service. When a fixed version is detected, a warning is no longer displayed.

Some more small changes and fixed have been added into 0.8.0.

    This is great. Until the other day I never gave it a though that Lights Out would shut the server down until I went to do a restore on one of my PCs. Luckily I have my WHS on the secondary input of my LCD so it was just a matter of going in and turning off the feature in Lights Out until WHS was done rebuilding the system.

    Thanks for the update Martin.
