Example2 - Guest stop with stop script defined
Context: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 9 server with CHARONCharon-AXP V4.8 11 installed, as4100/pluto guest running (not Tru64 and booted). Stop script created and customized, using the "rshssh" method (see "VM management - Create/Edit guest stop script") with example provided in the kit.

- Option 4 can also be used to edit the .service file to allow you to specify the service description, the auto-restart settings, etc... For more, see "
# man systemd.service"
