We had said we should have autostart directories containing config files of guests/networks which should be autostarted. One problem I see with that is that we'd need a new API to define autostart configs. So, I suggest we add an "autostart" flag to the toplevel element of the configs. We could discuss this one at length and I, for one, don't like using the XML format as an API like this, but ... comments?Strikes me as the right way to handle it (far less ugly than the xendomains method of stuffing config files into random directories, anyway). But, what do you mean by "using the XML format as an API?"--Hugh -- Red Hat Virtualization Group http://redhat.com/virtualization Hugh Brock | virt-manager http://virt-manager.org hbrock redhat com | virtualization library http://libvirt.org
