Once nwshut starts, you can stop it by pressing <Enter>.
When nwshut is executed, broadcast messages are sent to clients
informing them of the shutdown. Afterward, messages are sent according
to the following schedule:

If the grace period is more than 30 minutes (1800 seconds),
nwshut disables new NetWare logins 30 minutes before shutdown.
If the grace period is less than 30 minutes, nwshut disables
NetWare logins immediately.
If nwshut is cancelled, a cancellation message is sent to each
client.
