Hi Joel,

you can busy-loop here, if you don't define your dependencies via other
units. Something like

```bash
$MY_MACHINE='some_name'
machinectl poweroff "$MY_MACHINE"
while [[ "$(machinectl --property state --value show "$MY_MACHINE)" == "running" ]]; do
    sleep 1
done
umount "${MY_MACHINE}_rootfs"
remove_iptables
etc
```
