Hello,

I sent my (and also your) script to libvir-list, but no response yet.
There are also some suggestions, how libvirt can handle graceful shutdown
and leave ability to restart libvirt without touching guests.

I use my script to also shutdown windows guests. It's working well, if you
configure to shutdown windows on acpi event (virtual power button pressed).
I am not an expert for windows and I can't tell you more, but I am sure,
that you can find more with google. :-)
