Better; try this:

mythshutdown --check and verify no frontends are running.

If/when that says you're ready to shutdown, do this

tailf /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log (or your log location)

 From another terminal window do this:

mythbackend --setverbose system,idle

Watch the log, you should see, among other things:

      Verbose mask changed, new mask is:  general system
      ...
      Managed child (PID: 6496) has exited! command=/usr/local/sbin/LocalPreShutdownTests.sh, status=256, result=1

The script failed, in my case, as I was logged in (like you.)
Then logout and wait however long your script takes to allow
shutdown. After that period, log back in and look at the backend
log. And the /temp file for why it failed.
