NAME¶
systemd-inhibit - Execute a program with an inhibition lock takenSYNOPSIS¶
systemd-inhibit
[OPTIONS...] [COMMAND]
[ARGUMENTS...]
systemd-inhibit
[OPTIONS...] --list
DESCRIPTION¶
systemd-inhibit may be used to execute a program with a shutdown, sleep or idle inhibitor lock taken. The lock will be acquired before the specified command line is executed and released afterwards. Inhibitor locks may be used to block or delay system sleep and shutdown requests from the user, as well as automatic idle handling of the OS. This is useful to avoid system suspends while an optical disc is being recorded, or similar operations that should not be interrupted. For more information see the Inhibitor Lock Developer Documentation[1].OPTIONS¶
The following options are understood: -h, --helpPrints a short help text and exits.
--version
Prints a short version string and exits.
--what=
Takes a colon separated list of one or more
operations to inhibit: shutdown, sleep, idle, handle-power-key,
handle-suspend-key, handle-hibernate-key, handle-lid-switch, for inhibiting
reboot/power-off/halt/kexec, suspending/hibernating, the automatic idle
detection, or the low-level handling of the power/sleep key and the lid
switch, respectively. If omitted, defaults to idle:sleep:shutdown.
--who=
Takes a short human readable descriptive
string for the program taking the lock. If not passed defaults to the command
line string.
--why=
Takes a short human readable descriptive
string for the reason for taking the lock. Defaults to "Unknown
reason".
--mode=
Takes either block or delay and describes how
the lock is applied. If block is used (the default), the lock prohibits any of
the requested operations without time limit, and only privileged users may
override it. If delay is used, the lock can only delay the requested
operations for a limited time. If the time elapses the lock is ignored and the
operation executed. The time limit may be specified in logind.conf(5).
Note that delay is only available for sleep and shutdown.
--list
Lists all active inhibition locks instead of
acquiring one.
EXIT STATUS¶
Returns the exit status of the executed program.EXAMPLE¶
# systemd-inhibit wodim foobar.iso
