Comment 39 for bug 350936

Update**
In my comment #38 above step (2) I replaced the following modification in /etc/init.d/sendsigs from.

while /bin/ls /var/run/libvirt/qemu/*.pid>/dev/null 2>&1 && [ $kvm_shutdown_timeout -gt 0 ]

with:

while /usr/bin/pgrep -cx kvm > /dev/null 2>&1 && [ $kvm_shutdown_timeout -gt 0 ]

I have rebooted the host several times and all 2 guests shutdown cleanly.
