Graceful shutdown and hard shutdown

Graceful shutdown is a clean and orderly shutdown of a computer system. All processes are stopped and the computer is turned off in a controlled manner. Hard shutdown is an abrupt and uncontrolled shutdown of a computer system. All processes are stopped immediately and the computer is turned off. How does the TCP graceful shut down happens? When a TCP connection is gracefully shut down, both sides of the connection send a final packet called a "FIN" packet. This packet signals to the other side that the connection is being closed. Once both sides have sent their FIN packets, the connection is considered closed.

What is a soft shutdown?

A soft shutdown is a type of shutdown where the computer's power is turned off gracefully, typically by closing all applications and shutting down the operating system. This contrasts with a hard shutdown, where the power is simply turned off without giving the computer a chance to shut down properly.

What is non graceful shutdown? A non-graceful shutdown is when a computer is turned off without first going through the proper shutdown process. This can cause data loss and corruption, as well as problems with the computer's hardware and software. A proper shutdown involves closing all programs and files, and then selecting the shutdown option from the operating system's menu. What is hard shutdown? A hard shutdown is when you forcefully turn off your computer by pressing and holding the power button, or by disconnecting the power cord from the power source. This can cause data loss and damage to your computer's components.

Does hard shutdown harm SSD?

A hard shutdown occurs when a computer is powered off without first going through the proper shutdown process. This can happen if the power supply is abruptly cut off, if the computer crashes, or if the operating system freezes. A hard shutdown can cause data loss and file corruption, and it can damage the computer's hard drive.

SSDs are more resistant to hard shutdowns than traditional hard drives, but they are not immune. A hard shutdown can cause an SSD to become corrupted, which can lead to data loss. It is therefore important to properly shut down your computer before powering it off.
