When a gateway or workstation shuts down, it performs a qrexec call of
whonix.NewStatus+this_qube\ shutdownto its gateway. Default gateway is sys-whonix, can override in /usr/local/etc/sdwdate-gui.d.When
this_qube==sys-whonix, it's notifying itself. There is no Qubes RPC policy to handlesys-whonixtosys-whonix, as the policy right now is:On Qubes R4.0, this results in a silently ignored qrexec deny, observed in the dom0 journal. The
