Maybe, but consider that every control-pc used for automation is in danger
to be turned off the hardway. In this case the fs should not be harmed. I'm
often asked the qestion what happens with a machine controled by rtl, when
someone pushes the emergency button. Nobody at the site where our machines
will do their work is capable of repairing a damaged fs! And most times the
machines the users only turne off the power to stop the machine ... :-(
