I just got the newest version of QEMU available via Homebrew (2.9.0) and was able to successfully terminate the QEMU process with ctrl-c.
@Rida: To clarify: I did want to stop the whole QEMU and that did not work at the time. I had to kill the process through the activity monitor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1089005 Title: Qemu does not shutdown with vnc enabled on OS X Status in QEMU: Expired Bug description: I am running OS X 10.8.2 and Qemu 1.3.50 from your git repository. Running qemu-system-i386 <image> works fine. I can quit the process using ctrl-c. When I try to use qemu-system-i386 -vnc :<port> <image> ctrl-c does nothing and I have to kill the process trough the activity monitor. Furthermore terminating the process from my java program does not work either.
