Why only Running? What if I want to have a command that ensures that certain qubes are either running or with the latest state:
debian: open the qube and do some changeswork: state: Halted, template: debianpersonal: state: Running, template: debian
Hum, I will need to user work and personal now, let's make sure they are in their latest state:
qvm-shutdown --restart work personal
With the only running check, it would be a bit more longer:
qvm-shutdown --restart personal
qvm-start work

Honestly, it's rather weird to use qvm-shutdown tool to start a qube in your example...

Maybe it should be qvm-start --restart instead?

Why only
Running?
To make qvm-shutdown --all --restart a possibility. To make it possible to restart all currently running qubes.
Maybe it should be
qvm-start --restartinstead?
After some feedback here and on Matrix channel, I believe a new dedicated qvm-restart tool is desirable.
@ArrayBolt3 and some other users had some good explanation on Matrix on why a dedicated tool is a good idea. I will amend this PR and come back.

-Restart all running qubes is --all;
- If
--allis absent, shutdown and start or only start the specified qubes, being shutdown not enforced if the qube is Halted.
About other power states such as paused, I am not sure, possibly it shouldn't mess with those.

@marmarek @ben-grande I rewrote a new dedicated qvm-restart tool among with manpage and unittests. I appreciate if you could review.

Is there a better phrase than "true" DispVMs? Maybe "unnamed DispVMs" or "DispVMs with auto_cleanup enabled"?

You are right. I agree with "unnamed DispVMs". I will amend the PR accordingly (I should also link the related Github issue).
