But what if there are two plugins that want to stop shutdown? Having
both set the value to 1 is easy, but neither would know if it was truly
safe to cange it back to 0 when they were done. I'd rather have two
methods I could call, perhaps
# to say I'm not idle
Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Plugin::takeNoAction($mypluginName);
# to say it's OK
Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Plugin::okToAct($mypluginName);
Internally, you could keep a hash, with the keys being the string
passed to those methods. okToAct() would delete a key (set its value to
undef). To see if anyone objected, you'd count the keys in your hash.
I'd also suggest declaring a public $apiVersion number so plugins could
do stuff like
if (defined($Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Plugin::apiVersion)) {
Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Plugin::takeNoAction($myName);
}
