It should shutdown processes and unmount file systems cleanly, so you should be
fine.  There are always edge cases, where processes get killed in a nasty way,
like if they don't have a shutdown script in /etc/init.d/ that is configured
correctly.  The main thing is closing all files and un-mounting file systems
cleanly.

You should be fine.
