Re: Shutting down cleanly

Is there a limit to the amount of time you can spend in your notification callback on shutdown?

The max time for the entire shutdown is presently 30 seconds.

My callback is entered, and I start to clean my drive's cache, but before I can finish (after about 25 seconds), the system powers off. Is there a way I can prevent the system from powering off until after I've finished up?

Presently you have no way of saying "Hey wait until I'm done". You are pushing the 30 second limit. Although I believe you can abort the shutdown (I'll have to code this to make sure) there are certain cases that are unconditional. Low PB battery comes to mind.
