You are missing the point. If something needs to be done regularly on the command line, with always the same switches, then use a shell alias. Yes, I have one for cp. :-) (It's "cp -ip".) The shutdown command certainly is not broken. If indeed the Linux newbie must be catered to, then we can change the defaults, and tell them to "just use shutdown".
