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(1).  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 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.
