Thank you very much for advice.

And if I do this:


https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado-vt/blob/master/etc/avocado/conf.d/vt.conf#L7

# Keep guest running between tests (faster, but unsafe)
keep_guest_running=False

Is it possible to trigger VM restart?

I am thinking that it could make sense to group tests, disable VM
restart and then restart the machine after each group of tests is finished.
