May 29, 2014 at 20:59 comment added Tillman32 Well the ps command just shows processes, so it's not an alternative. Try this: ps aux | grep shutdown | grep -v grep and I bet that comes back with nothing. Essentially when you grep, that is also a process, so you're probably just getting your grep process returned and not the shutdown process. The -v grep says omit the grep process.

May 29, 2014 at 18:01 comment added Tillman32 @AWippler - What shell are you using? I believe this is part of the bash shell: echo $SHELL to see which shell you use.
May 29, 2014 at 17:49 comment added AWippler This command doesn't appear to be in Debian. Does it have synonyms?
