Added a --replace option to virt-image which allows it to replace an existing machine if it is current running or defined
Couldn't the same be achieved with a small shell script wrapper around
the virt-image invocation, something like
virsh list | grep -q $NAME && virsh destroy $NAME
virt-image $IMAGE_XML
It seems that this patch addresses a very specific use case (repeatedly
starting a VM based on the same image.xml)
Other than that it might be redundant though, the patch looks fine.
For me, if I have a shutoff machine then 'virsh list' does not return
anything, but virt-manager shows me the shutoff machine. In addition,
virt-image will fail on an install because of the shutoff machine.
I believe your script would work if the machine was running, and if I
knew the name of the machine inside the image_xml.
So. this patch will destroy a running one, or replace a defined one with
the same name.
