Description

Virtual-machine lifecycle events can trigger scripts when libvirt guests start or stop.

This helper is useful for administrators who need automation around VM startup and shutdown, such as preparing networks, mounts, backups, notifications, or cleanup tasks. It is not a VM manager; it runs configured scripts at sensitive lifecycle points.

Hook scripts can execute commands with meaningful system impact. Review script paths, permissions, environment variables, and failure behavior before enabling them.
