Not anymore, because thanks to this discussion I've
change that:

(defun gnus-runs ()
  (get-buffer "*Group*") )

(defun gnus-save-if-runs ()
  (if (gnus-runs) (gnus-save-newsrc-file t)) ) ; FORCE

(defun shut ()
  (interactive)
  (gnus-save-if-runs)
  (shell-command "shut") )

("shut" is a zsh alias for 'shutdown -h now -F'.)
