int
virDomainReboot(virDomainPtr domain, unsigned int flags)
there is also a new "virsh reboot" command to test it.
However there when trying it I saw that the guest OS shutdown in reboot mode:
------------------------
Turning off quotas:
Unmounting pipe file systems:
Please stand by while rebooting the system...
md: stopping all md devices.
md: md0 switched to read-only mode.
Restarting system.
.
------------------------
but the domain was not relaunched by default. I guess this also requires
to set up specific xenstore attributes so that the domain is actually restarted.
So not completely done yet.
You are probably aware of this but FYI...
I used virDomainReboot() with success when the domain was created with
"xm create" and "on_reboot = 'restart'" in domain config file.
Looking at virDomainParseXMLDesc() in xml.c I see we are not accounting
for a <on_reboot> element (or on_crash, on_poweroff) in the XML. Are
you working on this Daniel or should I take a stab at it? I'm guessing
you just want elements like
<on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
<on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
<on_crash>restart</on_crash>
Same goes turning sxp to XML in xend_parse_sexp_desc() in xend_internal.c.
