I think you already have what you need. "shutdown -h now" does not immediately power down the system. It sends a "SIGTERM" signal to each process, waits then unmounts the file system then halts. If your software had a "SIGTERM" signal handler then it could ask if you want to save data. Some programs do have handlers. The shutdown process waits for all this to happen before halting the system.
