Oh right, so am I correct in thinking you want the domain to be
undefined after it has shutdown itself? That's not possible
currently. AIUI undefining a running domain is either an illegal
operation or shuts it down abruptly -- you'll need to look in the
source to see which. So you'd need some sort of 'reaper' cronjob to
regularly undefine domains after they have gone into the shutdown
state.
The easy answer is to simply *not* define it in the first place. If
you use virDomainCreateLinux() instead of virDomainDefine+virDomainCreate
then you'll get a running VM without any persistent config file behind
it. Then all trace will disappear when it shuts down.
