Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately XBMC.restartapp() does nothing at all. Even when I select Restart XBMC on the Shutdown Menu, the menu just disappears, Thanks for looking into this. A solution would be greatly appreciated. I hope you enjoy your vacation!

Thank again.

Bumping this as since Beta1 we have decided to add the following commands
XBMC.Shutdown() - Will trigger your default behaviour (setup in settings -> system)
XBMC.Quit() - Will quit XBMC
XBMC.Powerdown() - Will shutdown the system
XBMC.Suspend() - will suspend the system
XBMC.Hibernate() - Will hibernate the system

Hi Topfs2,

Could you please help me out on how can I find out the way XBMC.Suspend() command suspending the computer? To be more specific, I am wondering which linux commands (srcipts) are used by default.

Thank you!

it's all done through dbus

Thanks spiff, but could you please also assist me, that in which file can I find the exact commands?

[topfs2]

We don´t use any scripts for it but rather issue the commands directly onto dbus as spiff said.

However there is an app that does this aswell called dbus-send.

Here is how you do what we do when doing a powerstate change.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager

This is more or less exactly what is done when doing a sleep call
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.Hal" /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0

And if you need references one how to do the commands via cpp you can check
xbmc/linux/HalManager.cpp
namely method PowerManagement @ line 390

When I did the HalManager I based it ontop of Gnome Volume Manager so thats a great reference aswell (not that it deals with dbus that much and it only handle volumes but still a good read on HAL)

Cheers,
Tobias

Thank you Tobias, much more transparent now.
I am going to read if there is any chance to fine tune suspend/ resume parameters by any config files.

Thank you again!
