Quick Shutdown Your Computer

WARNING may cause data loss or corruption.
The use of any fast shutdown program is risky. The authors of such programs may assure us that they are safe. They are not. The only safe shutdown is one where processes are allowed to close themselves and this takes time. These programs work by forcibly terminating processes without allowing time for an orderly shutdown.
These programs should be used only as an emergency measure when a normal shutdown is not possible. They should not be used as a convenience.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
