Prevent system sleep/shutdown/reboot in a bash script

By execution of a bash script which takes a long time to run I will prevent a manual executed system sleep/shutdown/reboot. It would be nice if the logged on user will get a message but it´s not necessary. Normally I´m looking for a working solution for OS X but for Linux would also be nice.

On OS X, you can use the caffeinate -s /path/to/your/script command to prevent sleep while your script runs.
