Cross posting for Stuart's benefit:
Any plugin can set and clear SrvrPowerCtrl blocks via the CLI without
having to worry about whether SrvrPowerCtrl is installed or not. If
SrvrPowerCtrl isn't there, the cli call is harmless and does nothing.
E.G.
Code:
--------------------
#Prevent untimely suspends, etc..
my $blockOwner = 'LazySearch';
my $blockReason = 'Performing_Lazifacation';
my $blockcode = $client->execute(['srvrpowerctrl', 'setblock', $blockReason,
$blockOwner]);
#my long running process...
#...
#...
#Unblock suspends, etc...
$client->execute(['srvrpowerctrl', 'clearblock', $blockcode, $blockOwner]);
--------------------
-- alternately, a stateless implementation:
Code:
--------------------
#Prevent untimely suspends, etc..
$client->execute(['srvrpowerctrl', 'setblock', 'reason_for_blocking',
'viacli']);
#my long running process...
#...
#...
#Unblock suspends, etc...
$client->execute(['srvrpowerctrl', 'clearblock', 'reason_for_unblocking',
'viacli']);
--------------------
Wrapping a long-ish process in those set block & clear block cli
requests will prevent SrvrPowerCtrl from interrupting a process by
shutting down / suspending / etc. The calls have the added benefit
that, if SrvrPowerCtrl IS installed, the
"reason_for_blocking/unblocking" messages get displayed briefly on all
clients.
