NAME

gnome-session-inhibit − inhibit gnome−session functionality

SYNOPSIS


	gnome−session−inhibit [OPTION…] [COMMAND]

DESCRIPTION

gnome−session−inhibit can inhibit certain gnome−session functionality while executing the given COMMAND. To achieve this, it calls the Inhibit() method of the gnome−session D−Bus API and creates an inhibitor. The inhibitor is automatically removed when gnome−session−inhibit exits.

A typical use case is to prevent the session from going idle (and thus locking the screen) while a movie player is running.

−−app−id ID

The application id to use when calling the gnome−session Inhibit() method. If this option is not specified, “unknown” is used.

−−reason REASON

A human−readable reason to pass along when calling the gnome−session Inhibit() method. If this option is not specified, “not specified” is used.

−−inhibit ARG

ARG specifies the things to inhibit, as a colon−separated list. The possible values are logout, switch−user, suspend, idle, automount. If this option is used more than once, the values are combined. If this option is not specified, “idle” is assumed.

−−inhibit−only

Do not launch COMMAND and wait forever instead
