I've tried that first .. but for me it gets unwieldy when you need to manage

Could you explain how doing it in separate scripts will solve i.e.

?
The problem is, that
VBoxManage controlvm ${vboxvm_name} acpipowerbutton
does exit immediately.
It does not wait until the VM is actually powered down.
Is there i.e. a rc.d "hook" which allows me to make the shutdown process wait
for some condition (at least up to say a limit of 20s)?
What is the canonical way of doing that kind of stuff?
Or is there a way of just making the shutdown delayed for 30s independent of
any of above?
Thanks,
Tobias
