+= Proper shutdown Log
+Ref[https://access.redhat.com/articles/2642741 here]
+
+With a simple last -Fxn2 shutdown reboot command, the system wtmp file reports the two most recent shutdowns or reboots. reboot denotes the system booting up; whereas, shutdown denotes the system going down.
+
+A graceful shutdown would show up as a reboot line followed by shutdown line, as in the following example:
+{{{
+~]# last -Fxn2 shutdown reboot
+reboot   system boot  4.18.0-80.el8.x8 Mon Aug 31 06:33:11 2020   still running
+shutdown system down  4.18.0-80.el8.x8 Mon Aug 31 06:33:01 2020 - Mon Aug 31 06:33:11 2020  (00:00)
+}}}
+
+An ungraceful shutdown can be inferred by the omission of shutdown; instead there will either be a single reboot line (if the wtmp file had been truncated/rotated prior to the crash) or 2 reboot lines in a row, as in this example:
+{{{
+~]# last -Fxn2 shutdown reboot
+reboot   system boot  4.18.0-147.5.1.e Tue Sep  1 07:16:25 2020   still running
+reboot   system boot  4.18.0-147.5.1.e Mon Aug  3 07:10:56 2020   still running
+}}}
