Hi,
It will be nice feature to have configuration option ALWAYS_START="$uri:$name $uri:name ..." in libvirt-guests configuration file.
If ON_BOOT is "start" and if ALWAYS_START is not empty, it iterates over the ALWAYS_START and starts guests with same conditions (delays etc.) before it starts guests from LISTFILE.
To be honest, I don't think that's _exactly_ what you want _just_ from libvirt itself; let me explain.
Benefits: - guests are started with delays
Delays that are done due to the guests are not something we should handle. Guests and mainly the applications inside them should handle this gracefully. Just delaying the starts is still error-prone.
- guests are started after host failure
That's what libvirt-guests does already. And if you want some domains to be started on every start, there's the 'autostart' parameter for domains.
Indeed, and I have a generall desire for libvirt-guests to go away entirely and have all its functionality just built into libvirtd. So I don't think taking functionality that already exist in libvirtd and adding it to libvirt-guest is the right direction for us to take.
