[ACCEPTED]-Detect pending linux shutdown-system-shutdown
If you are using systemd, the following 1 command shows the scheduled shutdown info.
cat /run/systemd/shutdown/scheduled
The easiest solution I can envisage means 14 writing a script to wrap the shutdown command, and 13 in that script create a file that your web 12 application can check for.
As far as I know, shutdown 11 doesn't write a file to the underlying files 10 system, although it does trigger broadcast 9 messages warning of the shutdown, which 8 I suppose you could write a program to intercept 7 .. but the above solution seems the easiest.
Script 6 example:
shutdown.bsh
touch /somefolder/somefile
shutdown -r $1
then check for 'somefile' in your 5 web app.
You'd need to add a startup link 4 that erased the 'somefile' otherwise it 3 would still be there when the system comes 2 up and the web app would always be telling 1 your users it was about to shut down.
You can simply check for running shutdown 1 process:
if ps -C shutdown > /dev/null; then
echo "Shutdown is pending"
else
echo "Shutdown is not scheduled"
fi
For newer linux distributions versions you 3 might need to do:
busctl get-property org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager ScheduledShutdown
The method of how shutdown 2 works has changed
Tried on: - Debian Stretch 1 9.6 - Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

You could write a daemon that does the announcement 1 when it catches the SIGINT / SIGQUIT signal.
