rebooting KVM VM from terminal

[Timo]

Hi!

I need to reboot a KVM VM every night by a cron job. For OVZ containers I used vzctl to achieve this but I did not find a similar tool for KVM. Any advices on this?

The tool is called 'qm', see

# qm

displays a list of options (also see 'man qm')

for example:

qm shutdown VMID

and

qm start VMID

(make sure that that the guest accepts anonymous acpi shutdown command)
