14.9. Shutting Down, Rebooting, and Forcing Shutdown of a Guest Virtual Machine

Shut down a guest virtual machine using the virsh shutdown command:

virsh shutdown {domain-id, domain-name or domain-uuid} [--mode method]

# virsh shutdown {domain-id, domain-name or domain-uuid} [--mode method]

You can control the behavior of the rebooting guest virtual machine by modifying the on_shutdown parameter in the guest virtual machine's configuration file.
