Shutdown abort is dangerous, because the instance has to do recovery next
time you want to start it up. Unless you have everything prepared for
media recovery (archives, archives, archives), please do "immediate"
instead of abort. That one does a checkpoint before it stopping
everything, which means that the instance doesn't have to recover.
