kill_vm_gracefully

Description

Flags whether a graceful shutdown command should be sent to the VM guest OS before attempting to either halt the VM at the hypervisor side (sending an appropriate command to QEMU or even killing its process).

Of course, this is only valid when kill_vm is set to 'yes'.

To force killing VMs without using a graceful shutdown command (such as 'shutdown -h now'):

kill_vm_gracefully = no
