Attached is a simple example in Java.

However to run the command it may be better to run the command using a
"firstboot" script.  See:

  http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#running-commands
  http://libguestfs.org/virt-sysprep.1.html#firstboot-

(Note that the ability to use firstboot scripts was only added very
recently to virt-sysprep).
