9 gnome-session-inhibit [OPTION...] [COMMAND]
10
12 gnome-session-inhibit can inhibit certain gnome-session functionality
13 while executing the given COMMAND. To achieve this, it calls the
14 Inhibit() method of the gnome-session D-Bus API and creates an
15 inhibitor. The inhibitor is automatically removed when
16 gnome-session-inhibit exits.
17
18 A typical use case is to prevent the session from going idle (and thus
19 locking the screen) while a movie player is running.
