inhibit gnome -session functionality
SYNOPSIS
' gnome-session -inhibit 'u 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 .
