My wording was biased there. To put it in clear terms:

I think it's wrong that nodm attempts to (re)start an interactive
X session when the system is already scheduled for shutdown.

I find it wrong, because it is misleading the user into interactive use
of a system that can power off (or halt, or reboot) at any moment.

What I am trying to do is to put a check into nodm that prevents
it from doing so.

Kind regards,
T.
