For the record, here's what I've learned. Automatic booting of a guest at host boot-up can be configured without a script as follows: # virsh --connect qemu:///system autostart <guest id> Ordinary startup/shutdown of a guest are # virsh --connect qemu:///system start <guest id> # virsh --connect qemu:///system shutdown <guest id> (There's no mention of "start" in the man page for virsh!) And if the guest was *configured* (not necessarily initiated) by virt-manager, a user can access it as follows: % virt-viewer --connect qemu:///system <guest id> Thanks to those who replied.
