Shutting down a Mac

[Crowbot]

Simple question. I use the Ctrl-Opt-Command-Eject keys to shut down my Mac when I'm in a hurry. Is this the equivalent of "sudo shutdown now" command in Linux? I just want to make sure it's a safe way to shut down. TIA.

I've only heard of one way that is not advisable, using the power button to turn it off. Of course, there are times when you have no other choice.

Since it's an official keyboard shortcut, it's most likely the same as choosing Shut Down from the  menu. Apple wouldn't provide it if it was unsafe.
