Claim:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a plurality of modules implemented by at least one of hardware and instructions encoded on a computer readable medium, wherein the plurality of modules include: an operating condition monitoring module structured to interpret a temperature value at a position upstream of a catalyst positioned in an aftertreatment system for an engine; an operating condition management module structured to interpret a threshold temperature value; and an engine management module structured to provide an engine operation command to continue engine operation in response to the temperature value being at least equal to the threshold temperature value, wherein the engine operation command prevents a nominal control stop of the engine to continue to operate the engine to heat an exhaust stream produced by the engine to pass the heated exhaust stream through the catalyst to increase a current temperature of the catalyst, wherein the operating condition monitoring module is further structured to interpret the temperature value in response to a plurality of temperature input values upstream of the catalyst.
