Then it looks like my mac OS X use-case. I currently want to test with a daemon that would: - delay OS-induced machine sleep when SC is in an uninterruptible task (that would fail to trigger significant activity at OS level, like a firmware update I guess), - refuse sending the machine to sleep on behalf of SC when it's already in the process of getting to sleep (avoid ending-up in a semi-baked state, esp. when wake by RTC should be programmed) - refuse to sleep the machine on SC request when the screen or keyboard are still active.
I can do about all this using the SleepWatcher freeware (GPL). The mac has a fairly elaborate set of system power management events. How does Windows fare in this area ? Would something like this be useful to you ? -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
