I agree with Sybrand's suggestion to use OEM to monitor this condition
for you. That would be choice #1.

Choice #2 (IMHO) is to create a BEFORE SHUTDOWN trigger to implement
this functionality. The trigger will only fire on "normal" shutdowns and
will not capture crashes. That is why OEM is preferable.
