"/timer abort" claims to abort shutdown timers

When a shutdown timer has been scheduled (with /shutdown or /restart), and subsequently aborted with /timer, it will wrongfully claim to have aborted the shutdown.

However, after the initially specified amount of time, the server will still shut down.

Well, "/timer abort" DOES only abort the timer. If you want to abort the whole shutdown procedure, use "/shutdown abort." I thought that the message produced by "/timer abort" is quite clear:
(Timer) SomePlayer aborted a timer with 9m57s left: Server shutdown (ShuttingDown)

Just to clarify - by "timer" i mean the "countdown messages," like the ones "/timer" command produces.

When the timer had aborted, I assumed it wouldn't resume counting down to shutdown..

So it's a feature?

"timers" just show countdown messages in chat, nothing else. There is a separate internal countdown for the actual shutdown, that can be aborted by "/shutdown abort" or "/restart abort"

Maybe link hooks and timers?

If one is aborted, it aborts the other also?

But... shutdown/reboot is the only 'timed' command i know off of fcraft.
Maybe a but 'overdone' for just 1 command.
