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.

OPTIONS

-h, --help

: print help and exit

--version

: print version information and exit

--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
