NAME

 qemud-init  - init functions for virtual machines

SYNOPSIS

         qemud-init <name> [ start | stop | restart | config | status ] 

TERMS

The term  qemud-init  is explicitly used for the library in  LIBDIR  here. It is NOT the package  qemu-init  (w/o the 'd').

DESCRIPTION

 qemud-init  is designed as executable library to be invoked by  qemu-adm . It provides the core functions to start, stop and show information of virtual machines.

 qemud-init  requires that a virtual machine is registered by  <name> . The  <name>  is the unique identifier, it MUST be lower case unique for all registered virtual machines. This is guaranteed by using  qemu-adm  for registration.

 qemud-init  requires other libraries of the package to operate properly.

OPTIONS

 start  Start virtual machine  <name> .

 stop  Stop virtual machine  <name> .  qemud-init  uses the qemu monitor command  system_powerdown  to shutdown a virtual machine.

 restart  Restart virtual machine  <name> . Internal  qemud-init  calls first  stop  and afterwards  start . This means  <name>  will be stopped completely and then it starts with a re-read of the configuration files.

 config  Show the actual configuration settings from config files  <name>-qemud.rc  and  <name>-qemu.cfg .

 status  Show status and runtime settings of  <name> . If  <name>  is not running  qemud-init  does fallback to  config .
