Half of the frame in which shell-command was run is standard  
behaviour (could be an option exists to set size as for example for  
the *compilation* buffer, compilation-window-height). If your shell  
command does return nothing or white space, then the temporary *Shell  
Command Output* buffer will look empty (in the fringe you can have  
exact indicators). If your shell command, say, a simple ls, should  
return readable output and you get an empty *Shell Command Output*  
buffer, then something is faulty. Then try the same by launching GNU  
Emacs as 'emacs -Q' without any customisation.
