I have a host running a few guests all configured to autostart. I'm also using libvirt-guests to suspend the guests when the host restarts or shuts down When the host comes back up I see a bunch of log messages - Resuming guest vm01 already active Resuming guest vm02 already active I guess this is because libvirt autostarts the guests when it starts and before libvirt-guests has a chance to start them. I didn't think this is an issue until I noticed the time on the guests is totally out of sync. SYNC_TIME=1 is enabled in the conf file but this doesn't seem to work I can see from the code at libvirt-guests.sh that the time sync function will only run if the guest is started by libvirt-guests ans will be skipped for guests that are already running So I'm not sure if this is a bug in libvirt-guests.sh or if I'm doing something wrong by using both libvirt-guests and autostart. I assume libvirt-guests will always resume guests on proper reboot but I'm think if there is any unexpected failure where guests weren't properly suspended before boot I still want them to come backup when the server boots Regards, Yoni
