[Qemu-devel] trivial patch for -exit-upon-reboot

[Luke Crawford]

As part of a client's plan to use systemimager to image Xen domUs, it has 
become convenient to make qemu exit after the OS inside calls reboot (so 
the Xen master can move on to installing the second xen guest)

I first used a patch by Brad Campbell:
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg06327.html

this worked great for by-hand installs, (the problem before was that 
systemimager would infinitely loop, and you had to kill it within a fairly 
short period of time to get a clean system)

but now the SysAdmins are automating things, and having qemu exit when the 
install is done has become important.

I made some quick hacks to Brad's work (essentially I changed the name of 
the options, and added an exit(0) in the obvious place)

I've tested this on qemu-0.8.2 and it works (though it conflicts with Brad 
Cambell's patch upon which it is based.)

Anyhow, if you think this might be useful to other people, I'd be willing 
to spend some time cleaning it up and syncing it w/ cvs.

Of course, if you don't mind modifying the install scripts, simply 
changing the reboot to a halt would do the same thing; but sometimes you 
don't want to do that, and patching qemu is more fun anyhow.


(note how I was too lazy to make a new diff; the timestamps are 
unchanged.)
