I did run across some code this afternoon that uses the same api as SleepWatcher...code that I think I could shoe-horn into a Tiger version of my utility. Basically, it would still operate the same, with a timer killing the run loop in order to terminate the program. But it could also register for power management notification, just like SleepWacher does, and the pm callback could deny the any sleep requests that come in before the timer expires. Admittedly, this is a simplistic approach. I'm just trying to avoid having to write sockets code on OSX. Having a full-blown power state monitoring daemon that communicates with SBS via the cli would take this work full circle. This was the approach advocated by epoch1970 a few years ago. I resisted it then, and I guess I'm still resisting it simply because I know I'll end up spending months trying to get the sockets code right and portable between osx, windows & linux. Also, while I've got a code example for OSX now and I have a good idea about how to accomplish the same thing in C on Windows, I don't have much of a clue about how to write a power monitor daemon under linux. I've found the gnome session-manager documentation to be sketchy, without many examples in C of utilities interacting with the session-manager. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
