reboot

Reboots a guest using the current libvirt-internal configuration.

For making virtual server configuration changes effective, shut down the virtual server and start it again instead of rebooting it.

The exact reboot behavior of a virtual server is configured by the on_reboot element in the domain configuration-XML (see <on_reboot>.
