Mine is more complicated, yes .. but it's more or less a direct adaption of the script for apache22. Also, I definitely need flags per VM, since we run each VM i) under a dedicated user ii) on a separate ZFS filesystem iii) with specific VNC port/password i+iii requires flags per VM. iii) is for obvious reasons .. need to connect to each VM on a distinct port. i) is for a) security and b) management of VMs by different "VM admins" which don't have to be root or have a user which would manage all VMs. == I there interest to consolidate our scripts?
