I guess that would require a special case background service then. I haven't looked at their API. If it requires the client to ping it every 30 seconds, then I don't think it can be done with the current system (though I don't know the exact details of how the backend works). -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
