NAME

mate-session-inhibit - inhibit mate-session functionality

SYNOPSIS

mate-session-inhibit [OPTION...] {COMMAND}

DESCRIPTION

mate-session-inhibit can inhibit certain mate-session functionality
while executing the given COMMAND. To achieve this, it calls the
Inhibit() method of the mate-session D-Bus API and creates an
inhibitor. The inhibitor is automatically removed when
mate-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.

method. If this option is not specified, "unknown" is used.

"not specified" is used.

--inhibit ARG

The possible values are logout, switch-user, suspend, idle,
automount. If this option is used more than once, the values are
