KVM Guest Startup Order

[Soeren Grunewald]

Hi Isaac,

i guess you're using libvirt. in this case the autostart of the vm's is 
done by placing a symlink of the vm-definition into
/etc/libvirt/qemu/autostart/.
you can prefix these shortcuts to set the required order. e.g.

10-db-server.xml -> /etc/libvirt/qemu/rhel5.6-db-psql.xml
20-web-server.xml -> /etc/libvirt/qemu/rhel5.6-web-wiki.xml

this should to the job, but note: you might get trouble when updateing 
autostart settings using tools like virsh or virt-manager.
