My "watchdog machine" as you call it, is the PROP running in OPERATOR. At each logoff of a user, my RELOG EXEC checks if: a) Is RELOGing in effect? If yes, then continue to check if: b) This user must be on at all times unconditionally c) This user must be on IF certain conditions apply - and checks the conditions.
The exec that is run when SHUTTRAP catches a shutdown signal starts its work by signaling PROP to turn off reloging. Only after that does it start bringing down the various machines it is responsible to stop. If I were to cancel the SHUTDOWN, I would have to re-enable RELOGing, but to date I have not built in such a function. I have also never cancelled a SHUTDOWN, so if it ever happens, I will need to do the enable manually. (Of course, I better document this, or my successor won't know why RELOG stopped working...)
