Will it create any critical problems if one always uses ''shutdown -h now"?

According to this post menu shutdown asks each application to save their work prior to shutting down. Will something more serious happen if one always uses sudo shutdown -h now to turn off the machine? It works so fast, I am getting hang of it.

None that I am aware of. That is how I shut down all of my servers. Using the -q options would force a non-graceful shutdown, but the -h option is fine. The 'now' part of the command is the 'time' to shutdown.

syntax:

shutdown [-a][-t sec][-krhnfFc][time][warning-message]

shutdown -h -t 10

specified a shutdown in 10 seconds.

shutdown -h 8:00

shutdown happens at 8 o'clock
