You can start any KVM VM at boot time by use of the libvirt-guests service, by
putting a link to the xml

Hi Steve,
Is that the same thing as the check-e-do box in the virt manager
of the vm under boot options?
You can choose to shut down rather than suspend the VM at shutdown by changing
the settings of libvirt-quests.
quests or guests? Was that a typo? (Typos??? I never make typos.
What ?!?!? Okay, okay, maybe 2 or 3 hundred every so often.)
Not finding how to alter libvirt-guests.
Also, I sent the "shutdown" command from the console and
the vm ignored me. Does this mean I should stay with "suspend"?
Many thanks,
