Industry standard yes, but it nevertheless evokes the image of a
ballerina flittering around a computer, gracefully pressing buttons and
keys between pirouettes, plies, and arabesques.

For reasons you may be able to guess, we've recently changed "Graceful
shutdown" to "Normal shutdown."

"Graceful recovery" stays in...

I wanted to use the term 'automatic recovery', but the developers
convinced me it's more than just automatic. It's a smooth, error-free,
no-human-intervention process.

And, as many of you pointed out, it IS industry-standard, a fact of
which I wasn't aware until I started researching it.

This is one of the challenges in inheriting doc sets. In this case, the
documentation came from an acquisition, so I have no contact with the
original writing team.
