Actual result: Failed to open "sleep 10" That is causes because shell ignores the first argument that should be the program name. But inhibit passes "-c" as the first argument. Attached patch fixes the inhibit to work correctly. Exactly like sudo, parallel, systemd-inhibit or any similar program works.
