Hi,

I have enabled "auto start" for a VM so it turn on when Unraid starts. But I would also like to monitor it and turn it on automatically if it gets shoutdown when unraid is running.

 

Anyboby know how to do that?

 

Thanks

You will need to have a script to run with something like user scripts to start a VM that is shut down. There is no function to check for the VM status and start it.

 

virsh list --all will show VM state.

and virsh start VMName

I can script in powershell but not in "unraid" (Dont know what that script language is called 🙂 )

 

Do you have an example how that script could look like?

 

And I guess that the script should run maybe every ½ hour or so. Our are there any other way to have a monitor script running all the time?

 

Thanks

Would be Bash in unraid. Here is a link to a script. 

 

But  you could just add into user scripts plugin(Install from CA) to run the command virsh start VMNAME every hour, you you can create a custom schedule using cron format. Note you will get an error in the log if running with the simple solution.

 

 

Then set the schedule:
