I want to plan a shutdown of a ubuntu server as follows:

shutdown -r 12:30

Problem: first I want to make sure that my webserver is shut down (eg to clear up some resources gracefully). Normally I'd be executing systemctl tomcat stop, but how can I plan that right before the shutdown?

Or will the shutdown command automatically trigger a stop command on any running services, so I won't have to care about it?

This is normally handled by the service manager during shutdown. – Gerald Schneider Jan 08 '19 at 08:57
_Or will the shutdown command automatically trigger a stop command on any running services, so I won't have to care about it?_ <- correct (usually) – Lenniey Jan 08 '19 at 09:00
should be automatic. it depends on the systemd unit content. please post it. – Chaoxiang N Jan 08 '19 at 15:59
What systemd unit content do you mean? could you give a command? – membersound Jan 08 '19 at 19:16
