I need help with a script.

I need a script where I can shutdown/start all VMs except one.

I know about start/stopping via virsh, but I cant find information how to do this on all except one particular. 

Not sure if there is a comand to shutdown all except of one but you can virsh shutdown one by one. simply add a line for each VM in your script.

Yeah I know how to do this, with a manual VM-list, but I dont want to edit that one, each time I create or edit my VMs. 

Figured it out

 

In case anyone wants it

VM-Shutdown:
 

#!/bin/bash

#Empty vm list
echo "" > /tmp/vms-running.txt

#Get all running vms except backup server
for VM in $(virsh list --state-running --name); do
  if [[ ! "$VM" == "VM-TO-NOT-SHUTDOWN" ]] ; then
    virsh shutdown "$VM"

#Write running vms to list
echo "$VM" >> /tmp/vms-running.txt

fi
done
  
/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -i normal -s "Veeam started - VMs shutdown"

 

VM-Start:

#!/bin/bash

#Get all running vms except backup server
for VM in $(cat /tmp/vms-running.txt); do
  virsh start "$VM"

done

/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify -i normal -s "Veeam done - VMs started"
