+# control-vm.sh
+This repository contains a simple bash script to start and stop virtual
+machines run by QEMU and KVM and to connect to them via SSH or VNC or SPICE.
+
+The newest version can be probably found on
+https://git.holgersson.xyz/nfr/control-vm.
+
+Note: While the author already runs this software in "production" on his
+private setup he would still conside some parts as beta quality. As usual it's
+strongly recommended to create backups first and read through the bash script
+to understand roughly what it does.
+
+# Installation
+Please install the following tools which are used by the script:
+
+- bash
+- >=qemu-6.0.0 
+- socat
+- spice-gtk
+ 
+# Usage
+
+```shell
+./control-vm.sh <name of your virtual machine> start | shutdown | stop | connect | save | restore | pause | resume"
+```
+
+Note that you do not see any 'setup' command there a one-shot boot from ISO is
+not implemented.
+
+# Contact
+If you have questions, suggestions or want to brag about your other qemu
+managing tools feel free to write an email or conact me via IRC:
+mail: nils@holgersson.xyz
+IRC: holgersson on libera.chat and oftc, mostly in Gentoo related channels
