NAME

       rpm-plugin-systemd-inhibit - Plugin for the RPM Package Manager

Description

       This  plugin  for  RPM  prevents  the  system  to enter shutdown, sleep or idle mode while there is a rpm
       transaction running to prevent system corruption that can occur if the transaction is  interrupted  by  a
       reboot.

       This  is  achieved  by  using  the  inhibit DBUS interface of systemd.  The call is roughly equivalent to
       executing

       systemd-inhibit --mode=block --what=idle:sleep:shutdown --who=RPM --why="Transaction running"

       See systemd-inhibit(1) for the details of this mechanism.

       It is strongly advised to have the plugin installed on all systemd based systems.

Prerequisites

       For the plugin to work systemd has to be used as init system and though  the  DBUS  system  bus  must  be
       available.   If  the  plugin  cannot  access  the  interface  it  gives  a  warning but does not stop the
       transaction.

Configuration

       There are currently no options for this plugin in particular.   See  rpm-plugins(8)  on  how  to  control
       plugins in general.
