NAME top

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

Description top

   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)](../man1/systemd.1.html).  The call is roughly equivalent to executing

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

   See [systemd-inhibit(1)](../man1/systemd-inhibit.1.html) for the details of this mechanism.

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

Prerequisites top

   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 top

   There are currently no options for this plugin in particular.  See
   [rpm-plugins(8)](../man8/rpm-plugins.8.html) on how to control plugins in general.
