241 | sleep state. Any user may take these locks and privileged | |
242 | users may override these locks. If any locks are taken, | |
243 | shutdown and sleep state requests will normally fail | |
54c31a79 | 244 | (regardless if privileged or not) and a list of active locks |
4a6022f0 ZJS |
245 | is printed. However if <option>--ignore-inhibitors</option> |
246 | is specified the locks are ignored and not printed, and the | |

352 | <command>systemctl</command> will query the user on the | |

404 | safe option to request an immediate reboot. If | |
