I have a request from a neighbour to build a win10 machine - all the machine is used for is to play microsoft solitaire collection and use email (I assume outlook). I plan to build a ubuntu mate 22.04 machine and have a win10 qemu/kvm machine running inside. I have asked the question before re launching the VM automatically at start-up so it appears as if the PC is a win 10 machine (user non-tech 80 year old who knows nothing about PCs). My question here is, can I have a script on the host that will shut the host down when the user shuts down the win10 vm? On a number of machines I 'look after' for various neighbours, who use ubuntu without any virtualisation, I run a script at shutdown that backs-up and updates their PC - the script includes the lines:
sudo apt --yes update
sudo apt --yes upgrade
sudo apt --yes autoclean
sudo apt --yes autoremove
and eventually
shutdown -h now
If I can write a script that will shut down the host when the VM shutsdown it would be nice to include these lines so the ubuntu host is updated without any user intervention.
sudo apt --yes update
sudo apt --yes upgrade
sudo apt --yes autoclean
sudo apt --yes autoremove
and eventually
shutdown -h now
