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.

ARG specifies the things to inhibit, as a colon-separated list. The possible values are logout, switch-user, suspend, idle, automount. If this option is used more than once, the values are combined. If this option is not specified, "idle" is assumed.
