You basically have two options here. One is to build the kernel with the shutdown-on-interrupt feature enabled, which is the best; then you just CP SIGNAL SHUTDOWN LINUX. If you have your guests set up so that they come up with the console already logged in as root, or if you don't mind storing their passwords in cleartext in the OPERATOR userid, you can do a CP SEND (from a pipe, so it doesn't uppercase everything) to the guest to execute the appropriate commands (shutdown or login and shutdown).
