* Keeping track of which application/services are in need/using the online=

state

So for dial-on-demand all download managers, email fetchers etc. (from=20
different users?) could register with the demon and tell when they are done=
=2E=20
Thus no more accidently interrupted transmissions.=20

> Proposed DCOP interface
beware, I have no DCOP knowledge:

enumOnlineUsage {OnOccasion=3D1, Explicit=3D2}=20
void registerOnlineUsage("Description", app, user, enumOnlineUsage )
// registers online usage, to be used by apps (kget, kmail, ...), (or io=20
slaves?), not=20
// Explicit are user triggered downloads, perhaps also mail, calendar
// OnOccasion are automated things, like KWeather, Kopete user states,=20
// CCDB synchronisations, RSS feeds etc. Such apps could be configured=20
// to on connection setup do the first information fetch as Explicit and la=
ter
// on OnOccasion so at least one update is ensured.

void unregisterOnlineUsage( app, user )
// unregisters an app/service

"list of online users" listOnlineUsers()
// lists all registered apps using the online state, to be used by kppp or=
=20
kisdn to warn about pending online activities.

Or would this be without scope of such a demon? Are demons user specific or=
=20
avaible to all users on a machine? What about the support of central server=
s=20
which deliver the internet connection (think a dial-up router of a small=20
network)?
