Is there a method to shutdown a VM with the virsh shutdown without being prompted inside the VM ?

Issue

• I'm attempting to use the virsh shutdown command against a server named dns1:

  # virsh shutdown vmname --mode acpi

• On the virtual server a prompt displays asking if I wish to shutdown the system with various choices. I do not want to use virsh destroy [vmname], that would be too abrupt.
• Is there a method to shutdown a guest with the virsh shutdown without being prompted on the virtual system?
• I went through the below article and verified the below was not an issue: https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/23170
