budgie-session-inhibit1
Inhibit budgie-session functionality
Usage
budgie-session-inhibit [OPTION ...]
[COMMAND]
Overview
budgie-session-inhibit can inhibit certain budgie-session functionality while executing the given COMMAND. To achieve this, it calls the Inhibit() method of the budgie-session D-Bus API and creates an inhibitor. The inhibitor is automatically removed when budgie-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.
