Currently I have:

# cat /etc/systemd/system/nwra-update.service
[Unit]
Description=NWRA Update
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
Nice=19
IOSchedulingClass=2
IOSchedulingPriority=7
Environment="ABRT_IGNORE_PYTHON=1"
ExecStart=/bin/systemd-inhibit "--why=NWRA update in progress" --what=shutdown
--mode=block /usr/local/sbin/nwra-update
ExecStartPost=/usr/local/sbin/needs-restart
ExecStartPost=/usr/local/sbin/reboot-if-needed

So was thinking that something like:

InhibitWhat=shutdown
InhibitWhy=NWRA update in progress
InhibitMode=block

to set the inhibit lock while the service was running might be useful.  Though
since I may want to reboot in the ExecStartPost perhaps that isn't what I want.
