Hi,

I have a basic question. I use/test Proxmox in a home situation and I want to shutdown my Proxmox server every evening with a cron job. Is this possible with the running VM's? So if I shutdown with "shutdown -h 1" what does this with the running VM's?

Yes it is possible.
Server will send acpi shutdown to all VMs, if they wont stop in timeout, the KVM process will be killed.
