That's not possible currently. AIUI undefining a running domain is either an illegal operation or shuts it down abruptly -- you'll need to look in the source to see which. So you'd need some sort of 'reaper' cronjob to regularly undefine domains after they have gone into the shutdown state.

So you'd need some sort of 'reaper' cronjob to regularly undefine domains after they have gone into the shutdown state. The easy answer is to simply *not* define it in the first place. If you use virDomainCreateLinux() instead of virDomainDefine+virDomainCreate then you'll get a running VM without any persistent config file behind it. Then all trace will disappear when it shuts down.
