Hi,
At this moment I only use my NAS for storing XBMC data (movies, series, etc). I created a line in the rc.local file when XBMC starts it sends a WOL signal to my NAS (I don't want to keep my NAS online 24/7).
From that moment XBMC loads the shell, but it takes about 2 mins for the NAS to start-up. I would like to create a background service which checks the NAS status. While the NAS is not online it should display a popup saying; "Waiting for NAS to come online" and closes when start-up is completed.
Is something already available or easy to make? I am able to write some basic python code, but I don't know where to begin.
Best regards,
Dennis
