Re: [Dynamicpower-devel] patch - task assignments to task-state

[Todd P. <tp...@mv...>]

Hello Daniel -- I've been too busy as of late to look into this in 
depth, but I am curious to hear people's requests for, or experience 
with, such ability to automatically assign DPM task states at exec time 
according to custom rules (such as by command name, as with this patch). 
  Admittedly, most folks using DPM are using it in tightly-controlled 
mobile phone / PDA consumer electronics devices, where a main menu 
application can make these decisions according to its own logic, instead 
of a general-purpose interactive desktop/server environment with no 
central control over execution of apps.  Ways of applying heuristics to 
power management characteristics of new processes without searching a 
list at each process exec would be a plus, although custom ELF header 
extensions and the like are messy as well.  Thanks,
