Sure. So you have to write a loop that checks whether the VM is still running. ACPI is exactly the same method I use in my scripts for this. vboxmanage list runningvms until your VM is gone.

However, I'm afraid your answer also does not address my issue: acpipowerbutton simulates pressing the power button on a real machine, but after issuing this command on the host, the VM would, again, take some time to shut down. | |
