init scripts for KVM guests

Hi there,

I've wrote a script for starting and stopping the KVM guest machines either by saving and restoring or by graceful shutdown and start. My question, is there an option within "libvirt" to make the KVM guest machines get saved when the KVM host shuts down? I had problems to gracefully shutdown Windows VM's!!!

Right now I had to write these scripts to save and restore the machines upon starting and stopping the KVM host.

Many Thanks for your response

vim /etc/init.d/kvm-win0-rcs
