Or even 'sendkey poweroff' - it's just a button someone on the keyboard on a lot of systems anyway. Next to the email button and what looks, on my laptop, like the play-a-tune button :-) I put system_poweroff into some QEMU-controlling scripts once, and was disappointed when several guests ignored it. But it's done now. -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
