Public bug reported:

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
