-In a BSD4.2 system, is there a proper way to terminate a shutdown in progress?

-Killing the process leaves the /etc/nologin file in place.
-A real pain if not noticed before logging out! (This needed a reboot to single
-user to fix as no users were logged on). 

	Note: You could always login as root, despite the presence of a
	/etc/nologin file.  Also note that /etc/nologin is cat'ted 
	to the screens of those attempting to login who are not
	root.  But of course, the correct thing to do is kill the shutdown
	process, rather than kill -9, as Guy said.
