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 .
