[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server v4 2/2] qmeventd: send QMP 'quit' command instead of SIGTERM

[Dominik Csapak]

this is functionally the same, but sending SIGTERM has the ugly side
effect of printing the following to the log:

> QEMU[<pid>]: kvm: terminating on signal 15 from pid <pid> (/usr/sbin/qmeventd)

while sending a QMP quit command does not.
