can we get some interaction between halt/reboot and bhyve?

I wrote these rc.d scripts to start and stop bhyve VM's, so that
on system shutdown, all bhyve instances started with these scripts
are shutdown:

I haven't tried them, but Michael Dexter has written more comprehensive
rc.d scripts from bhyve:

rc.d scripts work well if you can live with the normal shutdown process
invoking rc.d scripts.
For my uses, I can live with shutdown and rc.d.

If you want to halt/reboot/poweroff, then you still have the original
problem that Paul pointed out.
