FWIW, attached is the upstart script used in Ubuntu: ============================================= description "libvirt daemon" author "Dustin Kirkland <kirkland(a)canonical.com&gt;&quot; start on runlevel [2345] stop on runlevel [!2345] expect daemon respawn env libvirtd_opts="-d" env start_libvirtd="yes" pre-start script [ -r /etc/default/libvirt-bin ] && . /etc/default/libvirt-bin [ ! "x$start_libvirtd" = "xyes" ] && { stop; exit 0; } mkdir -p /var/run/libvirt # Clean up a pidfile that might be left around rm -f /var/run/libvirtd.pid end script # If you used to set $libvirtd_opts in /etc/default/libvirt-bin, # change the 'exec' line here instead. exec /usr/sbin/libvirtd $libvirtd_opts ============================================= In order to play nicely with libcgroup, we're also testing the following job to ship with libcgroup: ============================================= # libvirt-cgred-wait start on starting libvirt-bin stop on started cgred or stopped cgred task normal exit 2 script status cgred | grep -q "start/running" && exit 0 start cgred || true sleep 3600 end script =============================================
