**vws autostart**

**vws shutdown** \[**--wait**\] \[**--timeout** *sec*\]

**vws screenshot** *name* *filename.ppm*

**vws record** *name* *filename.wav*

**vws stoprecord**  *name*

**vws sendkey** *name* *keyspec*

Saves virtual machine state into first disk image. Subsequent **start**
command would restore this state.

**vws reset** *machine*

Requests the reboot of guest OS via ACPI.

AUTOSTART AND SHUTDOWN
----------------------

Machines, placed into system wide directory specified in the
configuration (see **Configuration
File** below) would be automatically started at system startup (provided
that **vws** service is enabled). This is performed using

**vws autostart**

command, which starts all the VMs in autostart directory. It starts VMs
under special user, specified in the configuration file.

**vws shutdown**  \[**--wait**\] \[**--timeout** *sec*\]

Does more than just stop autostarted VMs. Actually it tries to shut down
gracefully all the VMs, it found running. If **--wait** option is
specifed, it repeats scan for running VMs each ten second until
**--timeout** (default 90) seconds expired. When timeout expired, it
forcibly stops all remaining VMs. 



REMOVABLE DEVICE MANAGEMENT
---------------------------

**vws cdrom** *machine* [ **--eject** | *iso-image* ]
