[Bug 350936] Re: Should shut down domains on system shutdown

[Andy]

Reinhard,  to answer you questions. 
I created the init script first before  I ran into this problem
The reason being was 1) to minimize modification of system files and 2) to be able to shutdown guests on non-upstart versions of Linux. and 3) to enable stopping all guests manually without having to stop libvirtd 

As far as the section that checks if libvirtd is running.  I had and inststance on shutdown where libvirtd was not running
for some reason.  and hence it could not stop the guests.  Dont know why that was so I stuck that in there just to make sure it is before shutting down the vm.   It may not be necessary at this point.  

I thought of using the omit feature in the sendsigs script.   I tried to test this by manully putting the pids of vms in file called
/lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.  This did nothing.  Maybe I didn't do something correctly there to test this.  

Reinhard said: "wouldn't it be less intrusive to make /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf or probably libvirtd itself
drop or copy the pid files into /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d? AFAIUI,
the upstart job should be executed before the sendsigs init script, or
is there another race here?"

I agree.   If it would work.   I think the less intrusive the better
actually.  having to keep up with modified system files on every 10.04
system i setup can be a drag.
