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 trans‐
       action 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 exe‐
       cuting

       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 transac‐
       tion.

Configuration

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