From man shutdown:
A scheduled shutdown can be canceled by killing the shutdown process (a
SIGTERM should suffice). The /var/run/nologin file that shutdown created
will be removed automatically.

Re:
When you schedule it in Terminal, you should get something like this
Ex. [pid 1345]. In your terminal window (if you have admin access) type "sudo kill whatever the number comes after pid" if it asks you to type in a password, type in an administrator's password. It should quit the process "shutdown". It stops it from shutting down. Hope this helps!
