Repository for ++Power (C++ program)
A program written with C++ for system rebooting, suspension and powering off. The overall content is about 70 lines long.

You need something along the lines of libgtk-3-dev and build-essential installed in order to compile ++Power. Also make sure to install pkg-config.
Compile with the command:
g++ power.cpp -o power pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0
-o power is the output file. Adjust cflags and libs to match your system – if needed.
Run the program with this command: ./power . If needed make the progam executable with: chmod +x power .
Note by default ++Power assumes gksudo usage( a sudo account). You can easily change this to gksu if you are having an actual root account. Of course, make sure that you have either gksu or gksudo installed – in order to achieve full functionality.
++Power(C++) vs. Power Manager(Python) considerations:
These two programs do similar tasks. ++Power remains a more generic alternative while Power Manager has some Openbox integrations and i3lock integrations in it.
