A user in an other kodi forum asked about an solution for his windows server with lights-out and his FireTV.
I wrote a simple batch script, whichs runs every 10 min (you can set the time yourself) and checks if Kodi is running on a Kodi-Host.
eg the FireTV is still available via IP ping even when it is turned off, so lights-out or whatever software you use is useless.
But most software can check for a file. So this script creates a dummy file if kodi is running.
There is a config file named "config.bat", only few variables, that have to be changed (I'm not gonna explain it in here, cause comments are in the batch file - very simple, self-explaining).
The script(script.exe) should be runned at startup (or start it manually)
I think there a more devices out there, which behave like a FireTV, so some users may find this helpfull

I'm thankful for any feedback
