qemu-shim
A tiny process manager for QEMU that can gracefully shutdown VMs with interrupt signals. It was inspired by Arch Linux’s QEMU wiki.
The script makes a few assumptions about the arguments that it is given.
- The args contain a valid QEMU command
- The args contain a
-monitor
flag configured with a UNIX socket. TCP/Telnet is not supported. - The guest OS supports ACPI shutdown signals
Example
qemu-shim qemu-system-x86_64 -monitor unix:/tmp/fuu.socket,server,nowait |
