systemd has the ability to register and track processes that want to
inhibit system shutdown and sleep. See the developer documentation
here for more details on how it works:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/inhibit/
Looking at the source of qbittorrent, it registers an inhibition for
sleep/shutdown. Run 'systemd-inhibit --list' to see when its running.
Now, most services that use this service also gracefully shut down
when they inhibit shutdown/sleep, so it sounds like that isn't working
or it's just taking a long time. It also looks like you can change
the setting to inhibit in qbittorrent.
That's helpful, thanks.
