VM Doesnt shutdown when clicking the shutdown button unless you click the force shutdown button.I am still testing webvirtmgr and i will be managing more than 50 VMs and 3/4 of the time ,it probably wont be me managing them.

The force shutdown button is the only one that works and the other shutdown button doesnt work. has anyone experienced this.

The shutdown button sends an ACPI shutdown signal to your VM. What your VM does now, is up to your configuration. My debian systems shutdown normally. The force shutdown option just takes the virtual power cable away - so without power the machine goes down immediately. I don't think that this problem is related to webvirtmgr. Btw what guest systems are you running?

chamambom, if you use linux guests you have to be sure, that acpid is up and running.
ps uax | grep acpid
For Windows guests you have to allow shutdown without logon in local policies.
