PLEX server should keep Mac awake after wake-on-lan

$

hello,

 

i have the following issue:

 

i have the latest plex server up and running on my mac mini (late 09, 10.9.2). everything works fine. the mac mini is usually in sleep mode. when i am at home, my logitech harmony wakes the system directly into plex home theater. so far so good.

 

for the scenario that i am not at home but i want to stream a movie to my iphone/notebook i have set up wake-on-lan on my mac mini. this actually works! even wake-over-internet works great. but there is a crucial issue: after exactly 1 minute the mac mini goes back into sleep mode. this even happens if i have already started a stream. the stream stops, the library goes offline and the mac mini is back in sleep mode.

 

i have been told that this is a normal behaviour. after the mac mini receives a wake-on-lan package, it wakes up and listens to services such as SSH or remote login. if there is no response the mac goes back into sleep mode.

 

my suggestion or better said, request: the plex server should keep the mac awake as soon as a connection has been established. 

 

or is there any other nice way to keep the make awake after a wake-on-lan attempt?

 

thank you very much in advance!
