When sending SIGHUP to libvirtd, it will trigger the virStateDriver reload operation. This is intended to reload the configuration files for guests. For unknown historical reasons this is also triggering autostart of all guests. Autostart is generally expected to be something that happens on OS startup. Starting VMs on SIGHUP will violate that expectation and potentially cause dangerous scenarios if the admin has explicitly shutdown a misbehaving VM that has been marked as autostart Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
