My system: Ubuntu 17.04 , Linux 4.10.0-33, systemd 232-21ubuntu5 For a backup program, I wanted to prevent that the backup program is interrupted by a suspend, sleep, hibernate oder shutdown which would cause the backup to be destroyed. And if the backup runs automatically in the background, the user would not notice that.
So I tried sudo systemd-inhibit --why="backup running" --who="backup program xyz" --what="shutdown:sleep:idle:handle-power-key:handle-suspend-key:handle-hibernate-key:handle-lid-switch" sleep 60 (sleep 60 of course only for testing) This successfully inhibits a suspend (sleep). But if I tell the system to hibernate via the unity menu, the system hibernates, so the inhibit does not work. Is this a bug? Also I wonder why there are keywords for shutdown, idle and sleep, but not for hibernate? _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
