The call is +roughly equivalent to executing + +\fBsystemd-inhibit --mode=block --what=idle:sleep:shutdown --who=RPM --why="Transaction running"\fR + +See \fBsystemd-inhibit(1)\fR for the details of this mechanism. + +It is strongly advised to have the plugin installed on all systemd +based systems. + +.SH Prerequisites + +For the plugin to work systemd has to be used as init system and +though the DBUS system bus must be available. If the plugin cannot access the +interface it gives a warning but does not stop the transaction. + +.SH Configuration + +The plugin currently does not have any configuration option other than +turning it on and off. It can be disabled by commenting out the +\fI%__transaction_systemd_inhibit\fR macro in main macros file +(typically located at \fI/usr/lib/rpm/macros\fR) or otherwise change +the value of the macro. + +Another option is to remove the plugin from the system if it is +packaged in its own sub package. |
