A simple Upstart recipe for KVM

Might not be the most advanced, but hey, it works. You just need to alter the mac address and the display for each machine. I'm running this on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) and it seems to work great.

/etc/init/my-kvm.conf:

python

description     "my-kvm"

start on (net-device-up
   and local-filesystems)
stop on runlevel [016]

respawn
exec /usr/bin/kvm -hda /root/virtual-machines/my-kvm.bin -no-acpi -m 128 -net nic,macaddr=DE:AD:BE:EF:18:12 -net tap -vnc :0

Enjoy.
