I'm running `qemu-system-x86_64 ...` to start a guest vm. Now I want to

How could I stop `qemu-system-x86_64` instead of `kill -9`? Use `virsh`
command or something?
If you are using -nographic you can use the "^a x" keys sequence as
described in the man page:
$ man qemu-system-x86_64
QEMU(1)
During emulation, if you are using a character backend
multiplexer (which is the default if you are using -nographic)
then several commands are available via an escape sequence.
These key sequences all start with an escape character, which
is Ctrl-a by default, but can be changed with -echr. The list
below assumes you're using the default.
Ctrl-a h
Print this help
Ctrl-a x
Exit emulator
Ctrl-a c
Rotate between the frontends connected to the multiplexer
(usually this switches between the monitor and the console)
What I usually does when the guest supports ACPI is enter the monitor
with "^a c" then type "system_powerdown" so my guest gracefully
shutdowns, else use "^a x".
Regards,
Phil.
