I did not know systemd-inhibit was a command. I'm not so sure how good it
will be as I
just tried the following from a KDE session.
1. Log-in
2. Bring up a konsole and su to root.
3. Enter the command "systemd-inhibit /usr/bin/sleep 120"
4. Go to the KDE menu and "Leave--->Reboot" then confirm reboot.
5. Result - KDE session ends, screen blanks for a few seconds, login
screen appears and
the system never reboots.
Interesting... Using my new kernel posttrans method I did a kernel
reinstall which initiated a build of the nvidia kmod and immediately gave
the reboot command. Systemd closed the SSH session so I assumed that it
didn't work but when the system came back up the new kmod package was
installed and when I got home from work the X was up without issue so it
seemed to work for me.
At least it wouldn't have let you shut down the system during the build
process but I had hoped the integration would have been better.
You could try using the --who --why options and see if something is
presented to the user...
Thanks,
Richard
