These are small business servers. The CentOS server is the only server on the network. I start my VM's in rc.local and shut them down in rd.shutdown (I wrote my own). So, I am stuck with the command line. Thank you for the heads up on running them twice! But, on my new office machine, I will be running them headed, so I will be using your instructions there. -T _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
