Most power managers offer a dbus interface to interact with. So if wx provides dbus connections, ~90% of all case could be covered at once.

Quote from wx site

Yes, definitely, we don't want to integrate DBUS as is even though we may want to provide some high level API which could be implemented on top of DBUS in wxGTK (e.g. I'd really like to be able to catch power events such as suspend or resume in wxGTK and this should be done using DBUS).

so there rather will be API for disabling the sleep mode then for some DBUS requests

I implemented it for Mac and Win32 in the current SVN. However, to protect the network's health, when enabled it will only allow to go into sleep mode if you uploaded at least as much data as you downloaded.

What's the point? I thought the idea was to prevent sleep mode unconditionally. If this is what the user wants, the feature is useless for him.

It prevents sleep mode while downloading. That's not a problem. However, if it's set to allow sleeping after the downloads are done, it will only do so if your session ratio is at least 1. This is to discourage leeching. Or do you want to stop uploading when downloads are done? We have rejected every single implementation related to this (close when downloads finish, shutdown computer when downloads finish, etc) for network health reasons before.

The other way round. If someone wants to share only, and can't do it because his computer goes into standby (and he can't find the energy settings), then this feature won't help him. That's my point.
... I think I'm finally getting it. Something like the "turn off computer after burning" option some of the CD recording progs have? Well...
Should be easy to write a cron script that checks the temp dir every 5min and shuts down the computer when it's empty.
Wait until the first user complains "I was uploading and suddenly my computer shut down".

Do the OS functions you call prevent standby, or encourage/force standby?
