I wonder, why would you ever want to shut down a running Sculpt system? ;-) Joking aside, the answer to your question is currently not very compelling: There is a way to power off the system once you deploy an ACPI driver. Please check out the depot of alex-ab for the corresponding component (System -> ACPI-CA). The component reports various ACPI information (aggregated in the report fs once the component is running) and also watches the system state as defined in /config/system. When changing the content to '<system state="poweroff"/>', the ACPI-CA driver will power off your machine. That said, this raw mechanism is not a proper shutdown procedure. In particular, it does not imply the writing-back of data cached in a file-system server. This problem calls for an architectural answer, which is on our road map [1] for the 20.11 release (the item "Sculpt: component lifetime management, shutdown protocol"). [1] https://genode.org/about/road-map Until then, the usual procedure is to manually shut down VMs and applications, wait a few seconds (cached file-system data is written back every 10 seconds), and turn off the machine manually (or via the ACPI-CA mechanism).
