Generally, I agree, start implies stop, but there is also the case of start-shutdown-destroy. I believe the reason for the command names is that one does a 'start' on a VM, but then either does a graceful 'shutdown' or a un-graceful 'destroy'. There is no single 'stop' in that case. None of that takes away from your original point, however, that pool-destroy is not the destructive operation that it sounds like, and I have also done virsh foo-stop many times without thinking about it. I wouldn't object to aliasing pool-stop to pool-destroy, but I'm curious to know what others on the list think. Dave
