<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Dear Test Community:<br>
Some time ago I mentioned automatic scripts for starting and
executing commands on a VM. At the time the scripts were geared to
VirtualBox-OSE. Now I switched to using KVM and regeared the scripts
for automatic starting, maintenance and shutdown of a VM on a host.<br>
<br>
The attached script works on my F13_x86-64 Host running a KVM </font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Guest. I tested the script
on F12i386 ; F12x8664 ; F13i386 and F13x8664.</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><br>
The flags on my system are below:</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">[Bob@FedoraMythbox ~]$ egrep

P.S. - The comments at the start of the script should be self
explanatory. This is an alpha version and not fully "bullet-proof". It
needs to run as root for the virsh commands to have authority.<br>
