I could suggest a general arg 'virsh start --edit $GUESTNAME' though, which takes the current persistent XML, launches it in an editor, allowing the user to change the boot order and then starts the guest from this temporary editted XML using virDomainCreateXML. This is a conceptual fit with the 'virsh edit $GUESTNAME' command we already have
Another option could be instead to implement this "temporarly change & start" to another tool, that already does XML munging: virt-xml. In that context, adding options to edit the various bits makes sense, so only the "edit -> start -> revert" thing would be needed there.
WDYT?
Wouldn’t be a (new) tool 'virt-start' better for that since virt-xml does only the XML manipulation? Thanks for thinking about it.
