+ <listitem><para>When system shutdown
+ or a sleep state is requested, ignore
+ inhibitor locks. Applications can
+ establish inhibitor locks to avoid
+ that certain important operations
+ (such as CD burning or suchlike) are
+ interrupted by system shutdown or a
+ sleep state. Any user may take these
+ locks and privileged users may
+ override these locks. If any locks are
+ taken, shutdown and sleep state
+ requests will normally fail
+ (regardless if privileged or not) and
+ list of active locks is
+ printed. However if
+ <option>--ignore-inhibitors</option>
+ is specified the locks are ignored and
+ not printed, and the operation
+ attempted anyway, possibly requiring
+ additional
+ privileges.</para></listitem>
