I don't think a multitude of platform-specific methods is the best approach to add platform-dependent specializations to an essentially platform-independent interface. If you later want to add support for boot-to-specified-BE, you'd need more methods. A better approach could be a pair of getBootOptions/setBootOptions methods or an added bootOptions parameter for the restart and shutdown(?) methods, which allow passing a set of named parameters (as a map/dictionary). Through getBootOptions (or a separate method) it should be possible to query supported options. I'd assume such a generic approach is more palatable for upstream. > I do not understand what you mean by "These interfaces look a bit out of > place on ConsoleKit"? > ConsoleKit manages Seats and Sessions and their association to devices and X servers. Interfaces for system power control are really something different and would really be better offered by a separate power management service. - J?rg -- Joerg Barfurth phone: +49 40 23646662 / x66662 Software Engineer mailto:joerg.barfurth at sun.com Desktop Technology http://reserv.ireland/twiki/bin/view/Argus/ Thin Client Software http://www.sun.com/software/sunray/ Sun Microsystems GmbH http://www.sun.com/software/javadesktopsystem/
