I get the desired effect and the nice message without the vmpoff as well.
Right. See http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg20673.html The vmpoff only applies when you issue 'shutdown -h' yourself. Contrasting the recommendation from Malcolm, I do *not* use vmpoff= so that it will not logoff under my fingers when I need to shutdown and tamper with it. When I really want it to go away I use 'signal shutdown' against it.

PS If you have a lot of virtual machines it may be wise to issue FORCE against them in small groups before you issue the shutdown command. That avoids thrashing the system with all penguins running for the exit at the same time.
