Re: [libvirt] Request to rename 'destroy' to something milder.
Hi Kashyap,
I remember we were talking about this on IRC and I know it could make
confusion and first time I've been using the destroy command of virsh I
remember I've been asking somebody the same thing.
The issue is that this command exists in virsh/libvirt for a really long
and I don't know whether it could be easy to change it. I guess we
should introduce a new command 'poweroff' with backwards compatibility
to 'destroy' but changing destroy functionality is not the right thing.
Thanks,
Michal

Hi all,
A minor nitpick:
Every-time I suggest someone to do a force shut-down a guest using 'virsh destroy
foo' ,
the very first question I get is -- does it _destroy_ my data?
This causes confusion to the inexperienced user and makes him/her suspect that the
data/disk could be destroyed while running 'virsh destroy foo'
Maybe replacing it to a milder name like 'poweroff' or something might help?
Thanks,
Kashyap Chamarthy
