Title:
  Client persistently wants to halt if SHUTDOWN_TIME is set and the
  current time is between SHTUDOWN_TIME and midnight

Status in Linux Terminal Server Project:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ldm

  Based on the documentation I've looked at, I understood that
  SHUTDOWN_TIME was a simple daily trigger.  After setting the
  SHUTDOWN_TIME value, the system kept popping up the shudown dialog
  (10s to shutdown) every time ldm started.

  After looking in /usr/share/ldm/rc.d/I01-halt-check I noticed two
  issues.  At first, the script does not check if the $SHUTDOWN_TIME
  variable is actually defined (has a value) and that the date checks
  tell the system to always shutdown between the shutdown time specified
  and midnight.

  I propose that the documentation for LTSP contain a snippet of this
  behaviour if this is fully intended, or otherwise change the test to
  be optional, as it's not required unless this behaviour was intended
  :).

  Thanks
