# 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.
|
|
|
|
