Hi,

During a discussion it was apparent some people expect the KVM guests to be cleanly shut down when the host is being rebooted/shut down. Clearly this is not done as part of the /etc/init.d/libvirtd sysv script stop.

So what likely is happening is that /etc/init/halt is sending TERM signals to each remaining process, waits 5 seconds and then KILLs them. Which would be fine if the kvm/qemu processes perform a shutdown on a TERM signal _and_ they would in fact shut down cleanly within 5 seconds.

A mechanism like the above would be very helpful in some situations. Has this been discussed before, and should we ? :-)

Thanks for any insights !
