I have WHS 2011, most recent version of LO as well.
For quite a qhile my server had been sleeping fine and waking on demand as needed. Recently however, it just instantly resumes after trying to suspend and i'm not getting a shutdown.
My WHS is home built, and I have the following devices which may be of note:
Video: GeForce GT220
NIC: Realtek RTL8168D NIC
I use CPU > 15%, Netowork > 100K, and Shared File access for my triggers for keep alive. This has been working great until recently.
As i said before I've been a longtime user and things have been working fine, but now i'm baffled as to what changed. Honestly, it looks like LO is failing to complete the suspend process, but I'm certainly not an expert here. I don't see anything in the logs that means enough me to to try something else. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Here is an excerpt from my LO log:
