Update - I found that the init command was inaccessible in all running VMs
(weird) but this led me to look closer at what was available in /sbin.
Unfortunately at least in the openSUSE image, any power off/shutdown/halt
commands failed because they in turn were calling apps which did not exist.
In the end, I found a workaround... I simply killed the UML process
identified by the invoked kernel using top on the Host. This is likely OK
because all the UML fs so far have mounted only read only.
