S3 sleep - Check CPU Usage

[newhinton]

I would like to prevent my system going to sleep when i am encoding files. This is entirely local, so i cannot prevent this by a network-check. However, the CPU usage is a good indicator.

Thanks!

Why not simply checking if the array is up and using an array disk as encoding destination?

[newhinton]

Weirdly enough, that is enabled. I will have to monitor this closely. It might be possible that a bigger delay might help. (Related question, do you know if the "Extra Delay" in seconds or minutes?)

[newhinton]

No, delay only does not work. For some reason status&counter will not prevent sleep. From what i gathered, it should have been written to when it shut down. This might actually be a bug

You are sure that the share you are writing on does not utilize the Cache disk?

[newhinton]

Yes, there is no cache disk.

Also i am not sure if i am actually writing to a "share". I dont know how unraid works, so i might be directly writing via the mountpoint. (The transcode process is inside a docker container, which writes and reads from a mounted directory and dvd-drives)
