Sounds all good to me, FWTW.

We should prevent suspending _during_ shutdown to SU, of course.  Once 
happily in SU, is there any reason to disallow suspend?  I've done it.

Sorry, but that rather misrepresents my position; I was trying to deal 
specifically with the LID foot-shooting potential, in the case of user- 
initiated shutdown, so looking at possible mechanisms.  Not to worry, I 
clearly didn't express myself clearly :^\

As jkim pointed out, code speaks for itself, and C is read-only here at 
best .. though after 30-odd years I can usually follow it around ..

+static void
+block_suspend(int block)
+{
+
+       sysctlbyname("kern.suspend_blocked", NULL, NULL, &block, 
sizeof(block));
+}

This doesn't appear to get called?

Any idea if any of this may not be straightforward to MFC, to 9 maybe?

Thanks for going for the generic solution.  Hope it wins that race :)

cheers, Ian
