Once added, the guest can be started directly.
If the Charon log monitoring (global) option is set to enabled (default) in the preferences, the log monitoring service is created automatically when creating a virtual machine from menu option VM Management (add/remove VM, start, stop, console connection, ...).
Example: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 5 server with CHARONCharon-AXP V4.9 installed

Using the selected editor, here 'vim' with syntax highlighting, the configuration file can be customized:
...
We can now start the guest. If the preferences have been set to have a continuous view of the log file, the log will be displayed:
...
...
The error message above (white/red) is expected the first time the virtual machine is started. It tells the .bin file does not exist as it is initialized when console parameters are set
...
We can see below the service is active, meaning the emulator is running (
this does not mean "booted") and will be automatically started at Linux server boot ("BOnBoot" column on the right side)
The "Stop script" column line shows the script has not been initialized meaning the guest will receive a SIGKILL signal upon stop request. This will be explained further (see Service management - Create/Edit guest stop script)

Remove guest
...
Before removing a guest, please ensure it has been properly stopped (a check will automatically be performed before removal). The way the guest is stopped depends on the "Stop script" existence and settings (see Service management - Create/Edit guest stop script)
...
Example: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 5 server with CHARONCharon-AXP V4.8 9 installed, virtual machine as4100/pluto installed
...
No stop script has been defined so this guest will be stopped (1 see below) without proper shutdown (emulator process will receive a SIGKILL). The service status will then be considered as failed (last line in the screenshot below) and deleted:
...
Another guest can be added if needed (2).
...
Multiple CHARON guests can be added on the Linux server. This is however limited by the license (available products and instances allowed) and the Linux server hardware configuration.
