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? Libvirt has this philosophy to be backward compatible and therefore not to change old API including virsh commands. But as time flies, some APIs are consumed by new ones (virDomainCreateLinux is now just alias for virDomainCreateXML). So changing this is not feasible way. What might be, is to create less invasive aliases. But we can't make 'destroy' command to go away.
Thanks, Kashyap Chamarthy
