10 This plugin for RPM prevents the system to enter shutdown, sleep or
11 idle mode while there is a rpm transaction running to prevent system
12 corruption that can occur if the transaction is interrupted by a
13 reboot.
14
15 This is achieved by using the inhibit DBUS interface of systemd. The
16 call is roughly equivalent to executing
17
18 systemd-inhibit --mode=block --what=idle:sleep:shutdown --who=RPM
19 --why="Transaction running"
20
21 See systemd-inhibit(1) for the details of this mechanism.
22
23 It is strongly advised to have the plugin installed on all systemd
24 based systems.
25
26
28 For the plugin to work systemd has to be used as init system and though
29 the DBUS system bus must be available. If the plugin cannot access the
30 interface it gives a warning but does not stop the transaction.

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