GNOME-SESSION-INHI(1) User Commands GNOME-SESSION-INHI(1)

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
