In some cases my ACPI power button event gets redirected to the guest. I think i was using VNC. As long as qemu is listening for button commands while the OS is sleeping, that should work. And depending on your clientside, it is possible to send either virsh commands or QEMU monitor commands remotely. It is possible to configure QEMU's behaviour on various power events, for example the -noshutdown CLI switch. <div class="gmail_quote">On Oct 22, 2015 4:39 AM, "Erik Adler" <<a href="mailto:erik.adler@gmail.com">erik.adler@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I would really like to be able to resume a suspended/sleeping guest from the guest side.
