Well, write your own shell script is always a possibility.

But it's hard for me to believe that with a complex solution like virsh 
/ libvirt, where almost all aspects of running virtual guests are 
covered, I'm the first person to ask about such basic functionality ;)

Or? What are other people on this list using to stop or save guest state 
graciously when the host reboots / halts?

Maybe there is some solution already? Custom scripts? If everyone is 
using custom scripts, maybe it's time to show some code and start 
building on that?
