Subject: Qmp signal event
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 15:17:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131126141741.GA15008@google.com> (raw)

Hi,

We're connecting to an instance using the Qmp socket and listening on
the events in order to determine whether the shutdown came from inside
the VM or it was issued by the host, for example, by piping
'system_powerdown'.

However, we're unable to distinguish between a host shutdown issued
through Qmp and a TERM signal issued by kill, for example.  Is there a
way to determine if KVM received a TERM signal?  Is it possible to
send an event, just like the ones used for 'SHUTDOWN' and 'POWERDOWN',
through Qmp?

Cheers,
Jose
