We are now going to update the guests list and add a virtual machine:
An AlphaServer 4100 (1) will be added by cloning the as4100 configuration file template (2 & 3) to the /charon/pluto.cfg (4 & 5):
Use the 'l' option to list available configuration files and templates
...
Once the clone is completed, we can leave the clone utility (1 & 2 below) then use (3) and customize the newly created file:
If you don't edit the file now, you won't be prompted to start the guest (virtual machine).
...
Using the selected editor, the configuration file can be customized:

When leaving the editor, the guest log file name is extracted and the monitoring service is automatically enabled (installed).

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
...
Enter 'q' twice to reach the "Service management" menu:
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 ("B" column on the right side)
The "Stop script" column 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)

We are now going to remove (1 & 2) the as4100/pluto guest, currently in active state:
| Div | ||
|---|---|---|

No stop script has been defined so this guest will be stopped (1 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:
As the guest has been deleted, the log monitoring service can also be removed (1 below):
Another guest can be added if needed (2).
...
Example: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 server with CHARON-AXP V4.8 installed, virtual machine as4100/pluto installed
We are now going to prevent from the as4100/pluto guest to be started automatically (1). Once completed enter 'n' to return to the previous menu (2):
Edit guests lists (for stop order)
