# 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](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/QEMU#With_systemd_service).

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
```
