why devicekit-power does not support reboot/shutdown
Hi developers of devciekit-power, I wonder why reboot/shutdown is not supported in devicekit-power. According to my understanding, they are related to power management. Is this because they are already implemented in ConsoleKit? Thanks, Jedy ___ devkit-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/devkit-devel

It's likely because shutting down a machine requires being sure no data will be lost and that in turn requires enumerating other users being logged in at the moment. -- Patryk Zawadzki ___ devkit-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/devkit-devel

It was a long and heated discussion [1][2], but it never got resolved to the point to actually move the shutdown/reboot stuff to a proper place like DK-P. But with the current status quo it would not make sense to duplicate the API, and e. g. GNOME has already moved to using the CK API.
