Hmm, I don't know if I buy this. Closing a VNC client window doesn't shut down the remote machine, nor does exiting an SSH connection. And doing virt-manager --uuid <blah> doesn't auto-start an inactive VM so users are forced to recognize this concept IMO. There's also the issue that reliably shutting down a VM in a safe way is hard: shutdown often doesn't do what's expected, and destroy is potentially dangerous. If we just kick off 'shutdown' on exit then the user may not notice for a long time that the VM never shut down. I think I'd be more comfortable with just recommending a wrapper script if someone really wants this functionality, it's basically: virsh start <vmname> virt-manager --no-fork --uuid $(virsh domuuid <vmname>) virsh destroy <vmname> - Cole _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
