I am surprised that now you know the mission of the project that already exists and is used by thousands of users, you will not assist in finding a notification call that could be useful in other projects besides the Insomnia project as well.

I am not terribly surprised that you haven't actually thought through the implications of what you're asking for, even after I tried to generalise them in order to illustrate why the mode of operation you want is not a supported thing, and not a good idea in general.


However, you need to do this. Yes, I understand full well what it is that you are asking for, and why in the sort of applications that you personally have in mind, you think it would be a good idea.

The problem is, this is not "a sleep hack for InsomniaX" that you are describing; this is "a fully supported mode of operation". I've tried to make it clear why this isn't likely to be a supported mode of operation - damaging the system, shutting down unexpectedly - these are class-action lawsuit material and generally not a good idea.

So seriously maybe i should start a new topic for this problem since everyone has a mixed view on this, and no one will answer the current question that in reality has no effect on the sleep behavior of the system. so lets repeat the question just so everyone is clear.....

What makes you think this would help? A new Subject: tag isn't going to change the situation; you need to stop repeating your question and start listening to the answer.
