Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Dec 16, 2019
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch Linux
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When calling steam with the -shutdown parameter, steam will start up and stay up if it was not previously started. I expected that running steam -shutdown when steam is not running would be a noop (i.e. steam would detect it isn't running and just return)

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Make sure steam is not running
  2. In terminal emulator, run steam -shutdown
  3. Steam will start up
  4. Steam will stay running
