Agreed, using private API isn't really the best way. I was able to use the
Launch command to run the 'true' binary and get the return status and check if
it is B_SHUTTING_DOWN. If the system isn't shutting down, true is run but it
does nothing and quits. I don't really like all the processing that goes into
registering and launching a binary just to check the shutdown status, but it
does work.

If I ever get a dev Haiku system running I will certainly do so.
