Just notes from my thoughts
Since Raspberry Pi cannot allow WOL (Wake On Lan), you may want it always on 24/7, but you can turn off the monitor using script and execute it remotely via ssh/php shell
To turn on/off monitor, create 2 scripts below:
poweroff.sh
tvservice -o
poweron.sh
tvservice --preferred
fbset -depth 8; fbset -depth 16;
Screen is useful when updating system, usually takes long time, whenever accidentally disconnected, you can reconnect again.

Error Ubuntu 14.04: no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
Appears when login, to fix it:
1. remove libpam-smbpass
sudo apt-get remove libpam-smbpass
Based on:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s…a/+bug/1257186, and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s…o/+bug/1274680
the libpam-smbpass package will sync system users and passwords with the Samba user database.
2. You can also fix this issue while keeping libpam-smbpass installed by running “pam-auth-update” and remove “SMB password synchronization”. Got that solution from Thomas (reusch) on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s…a/+bug/1257186
