[Bug 898422] [NEW] shutdown -k exits prematurely

[Tom Yu]

Public bug reported:

On Lucid, "shutdown -k" with a time argument that is not "now"
broadcasts the first shutdown warning, then exits without doing anything
else. In particular, it does not enter the loop to issue subsequent
shutdown warnings. Running "shutdown -k" should do everything except the
actual shutdown.

I confirmed by inspecting the source code that this bug is still
probably present in the active development sources. The conditional to
exit(0) when warn_only is true should probably be moved into the
shutdown_now() function.

Version information (but it doesn't really matter because it's still in
the development sources):

ii  upstart        0.6.5-8        event-based init daemon
