. - Optionally, use option "Enable/Disable start at server boot" to prevent the guest from starting automatically when the Linux server is booted
. - Optionally (but highly recommended), use option "Create/Edit guest stop script" to define the stop script that will be used to perform a clean shutdown of the virtual machine at service stop. See examples provided in the '
/opt/charon/utils/charon_gstart.stop.example' file.
It is recommended to test your shutdown scripts before going on production
. - Optionally, create the '
/opt/charon/utils/charon_gstart.chkruncharon_gstart.chkrun.example' file for example, to add information about the guest state when displaying the guests list. See Optional guest display status script
