I am working on macOS Mojave unified logs,which are as follows:
2019-04-29 11:16:07.480418+0900 0xc2 Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (AppleSMC) Previous shutdown cause: 5

2019-04-29 11:31:42.320626+0900 0x71f Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (IOPlatformPluginFamily) Shutdown cause was a SYS_PWROK event (Same as GEN_PMCON_2 bit 1)
2019-04-29 11:31:42.320628+0900 0x71f Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (IOPlatformPluginFamily) Shutdown cause was a THRMTRIP# event (Same as GEN_PMCON_2 bit 3)

What do the following mean:
- Previous shutdown cause: 5 (Previous shutdown cause on High Sierra means normal shutdown). Can it be the same in Mojave?
- "Shutdown cause was a PWROK event" (Same as GEN_PMCON_2 bit 0)
- "Shutdown cause was a THRMTRIP# event"
Comments/observations are welcome
Best Answer
Yes, a shutdown cause value of 5 means it was a totally normal shutdown.
A "Shutdown cause was a PWROK event" basically means that your system shutdown with no power supply issues - as in PWROK = Power Okay.
A "Shutdown cause was a THRMTRIP# event" basically means that your system shutdown due to a thermal trip - most likely due to overheating - so your Mac shuts down to protect itself from damage.
