Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-14.1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man8/shutdown.8.gz

       -c     Cancel an already running shutdown. With this option  it  is  of
              course not possible to give the time argument, but you can enter
              a explanatory message on the command line that will be  sent  to
              all users.

Say instead:

       -c     Cancel a waiting shutdown. ("shutdown now" is no longer
              waiting.) With this option it is of course not possible
              to give the time argument, but you can enter explanatory
              message arguments on the command line that will be sent
              to all users.
