    none of these is a shutdown. system stop with no poweroff and a reboot are not shutdown. Maybe Alt+SysRQ+o will work (it's APM, so I doubt the VM with terminate after stopping everything, but...) the key combination can be sent via the qemu-monitor sendkey routine Commented Dec 8, 2012 at 8:26
  • How do I send any of these in a snap? I don't care what the VM does; it only matters that the guest gets one of these, and does a sync with proper umount and stuff. Commented Dec 10, 2012 at 20:13
