# AutoStart VM's that are tagged with autostart tag
# Script created by Raido Consultants - http://www.raido.be

function xe_param()

while read DATA; do

done
} # Get all VMs
sleep 20
VMS=$(xe vm-list is-control-domain=false | xe_param uuid) for VM in $VMS; do
echo "Raido AutoStart Script : Checking VM $VM"
VM_TAGS="$(xe vm-param-get uuid=$VM param-name=tags)" if [[ $VM_TAGS == *$TAG* ]]
then
echo "starting VM $VM"
sleep 20
xe vm-start uuid=$VM
fi done

or just do this:

sleep 30
xe vm-start tags=autostart –multiple
