Graceful shutdown for OpenBSD
##Sent this first with wrong date (14th Sep), apologies.
Hello,
I want to be able to shut down all virtual machines gracefully by running "virsh shutdown VM".
For Linux (tested with Debian Lenny) this works.
But OpenBSD does not work.
I read somewhere that kvm/qemu sends an "acpi shutdown signal" to the guest OS when running the virsh shutdown command. Is this correct?
I am having problems enabling acpi on OpenBSD (its not enabled by default) and I want to be sure that everything on the side of the guest is working, so I need to know what exactly is this signal?
Maybe "power button pressed" or something?
Thank you.

Yes. If OpenBSD supports power buttons, this should work.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain.
