Hi all,

is it possible to detect a guest shutdown?

I want to stop a service if my windows guest is shutted down and force a 
sync of the disks - because it could be possible that the user switches off 
the system afterwards and he has no possiblity to tell linux to shut down 
safely, because he only sees the shutted down screen of windows.

Best regards,

Erik
