Re: [libvirt] Expose virDomainGetAutostart through virsh?

Hi list,
I'd like to check if a domain has autostart enabled. I do this now by
looking if there's a symlink in /etc/libvirt/qemu/autostart, but it
feels a bit hackish.
Is this something that could be added to virsh?
Something like virsh get-autostart domain would be great.
For now there are two options how to check the autostart flag:
1) virsh dominfo - This is suitable to check for the state of a single
guest. Unfortunately we have just this one output option where it is
embedded with other information about the guest:
$ virsh dominfo tr
Id: 1
Name: tr
UUID: 17f42b42-9fdd-81e3-4a93-a75021a707d3
OS Type: hvm
State: running
CPU(s): 1
CPU time: 200.5s
Max memory: 53248 KiB
Used memory: 53248 KiB
Persistent: yes
Autostart: enable <- here!
Managed save: no
Security model: none
Security DOI: 0
2) use virsh list --all --autostart to list guests that have the
autostart flag enabled (also note that there are script-friendly outputs
for virsh list --name and --uuid):
$ virsh list --all --autostart
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
1 tr running
- Bare shut off
We're planing on adding the autostart flag as an XML element and a few
other improvements of autostaring guests.
Kind regards,
Ruben
