Re: How to properly turn off guest VM on server shutdown?

["Markus Breitländer" <breitlaender@stud.fh-dortmund.de>]

Hi!

Does anyone have sample scripts for this job?

I know you can send the 'system_powerdown' command to the qemu-monitor,
this CAN work for windows guests as far as i know.

What other commands could be used in shutdown scripts?

Regards,
