Here is the /etc/init.d/libvirtd script that I use to automatically send

Am I right in thinking this script wouldn't give the correct results for Xen
guests (not that it would be needed anyway)? Does "virsh list" always show
KVM guests with "running" as their state when up and omits the KVM host?
I ask because a) and haven't any experience of KVM and, b) virsh list for a
Xen Dom0 gives the following:
[r...@ayres ~]# virsh list
Id Name State
----------------------------------
0 Domain-0 running
1 byron idle
2 carew running
3 donne running
4 jeltz idle
5 nashe idle
6 swift2 idle
Your script would therefore not only only flag "carew" and "bates" for
shutdown but also "Domain-0" as well. This would therefore miss "byron",
"jeltz", "nashe" and "swift2" and attempt to shut down the Dom0 (-:
