Hi Daniel, You may see /etc/init.d/libvirtd carefully, libvirt is default started on runlevel 3, 4, 5 (# Default-Start: 3 4 5): # chkconfig libvirtd --list libvirtd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off It may be different for libvirtd location from you, because I'm using a RHEL OS. Good Luck!

Now I am curious: how is libvirtd started at all? I have Ubuntu 10.10, and I have noticed the presence of a symbolic link: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2011-05-26 09:45 /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin -> /lib/init/upstart-job But this script is not used in any of the runlevels. Who is starting libvirtd?

What is the recommended approach for this?
