I entered sudo shutdown -h now
to shutdown my computer. Then, the "A stop job is running..." message appeared. I wanted to abort my shutdown and go back to appropriately closing the running programs... but I couldn't find a way to cancel my shutdown so all I could do was wait for the shutdown to continue.
Most of the guidance I find online are focused on forcing immediate shutdown whereas I want to stop the shutdown. Is it possible to abort the shutdown in this situation?
Environment: Debian, XFCE, xfce4-terminal, Bash
