Common commands:
*'''virsh list''' (only lists only running VMs)
*'''virsh list --all''' (lists running and non-running VMs)
*'''virsh list --inactive''' (lists only non-running VMs)
*'''virsh start centos1''' (starts VM named "centos1")
*'''virsh stop centos3''' (stops VM named "centos3" , although best to shut-down under normal methods)
