[Qemu-devel] Trapping ctrl-c

[Martin Garton]

Hi,

Now that ACPI is supported, does anyone agree that it would make sense
to trap SIGINT (any perhaps SIGTERM) and use it to generate an acpi
power button event?  That way, operating systems that support it could
shut down cleanly.

This would be particularly useful when you have multiple qemu instances
running with the vnc option and would mean the user does not have to use
vnc multiple times to shut down but instead could just do "killall qemu"

It's a nice idea, but awfully *nix specific. ;0)

<GedMurphy> why does the size matter?

True, but it could be supplemented by the same idea when a user presses
the close button on the gui window. That could work on all versions.
