* Graceful shutdown for OpenBSD

Hello,

I want to be able to shut down all virtual machines gracefully by 
running "virsh shutdown VM".

For Linux (tested with Debian Lenny) this works.

But OpenBSD does not work.

I read somewhere that kvm/qemu sends an "acpi shutdown signal" to the 
guest OS when running the virsh shutdown command. Is this correct?

I am having problems enabling acpi on OpenBSD (its not enabled by 
default) and I want to be sure that everything on the side of the guest 
is working, so I need to know what exactly is this signal?

Maybe "power button pressed" or something?

Thank you.
Benjamin Reiter

Yes.  If OpenBSD supports power buttons, this should work.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
