qemud-ast - enable or disable autostart of virtual machines
qemud-ast <name>
qemud-ast is designed as executable library to be invoked by qemu-adm .
qemud-ast changes the autostart option of <name>. If autostart is OFF it will be set
to ON and vice versa. The autostart function will be evaluated by qemud (8) only.
The config file ETCDIR/autostart contains all virtual machines which have autostart enabled. For security
reasons root privileges are required to write to ETCDIR/autostart (see below).
To enable autostart root privileges are required. Members of the SYSGRP are allowed to disable autostart only.
