Education. I had clients that did that, so I described it as being the same
thing as their husband/wife putting the car in park, while driving at 60.
You might not break the transmission the first time, but you _will_ destroy
it sooner or later.
Would you be frustrated that you couldn't convince him/her that it was a
destructive action?
That usually did the trick.

Subject: [SLUG] Protecting linux against loss of power
I have a customer who runs an application on Linux. Despite my repeated
admonitions not to do so, they just turn off the machine without doing a
proper shutdown. This has caused some issues for me and for them. Is there
any way to "harden" Linux against this sort of behavior? Something that will
prevent loss of data? Anything? Thanks.
