I would like to have an option within libvirt to do this. The script I have will work for kvm, but for xen ... ? If you say 'per VM basis' does this mean an option within the xml definition of VM is the right way to go? On start / stop of libvirtd the corresponding actions would have to be initiated (like shutdown all kvm VMs). So a framework is needed to define which actions should be done an start / stop of the daemon and an implementation for each hypervisor.
