<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 of whether privileged or not) and a 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>
