More vcd info wanted

[Bill Davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com>]

I am looking for detailed information or a single reproducible example of 
starting a VM using the qemu-kvm command from a script under Linux (and a 
display script on a control host, obviously). What software needs to be 
installed and running on the host, and what needs to be on the remote accessing 
display.

Please: this is not a question about doing something else using some other 
method, I need to be able to drop a disk image and a few parameters into a KVM 
host and start it in such a way that there is not human intervention nor 
previous preparation such as virt-manager or similar.

I run desktops and servers under KVM using both command line start and managers, 
I just keep running into documentation which tells me to use a "vnc specifier" 
without explanation of what that might look like or a single reproducible 
example of same.

The host will be given a disk image and some parameters such as MAC address and 
memory size, and the machine which will have the display. That's my starting 
point, KVM host info will be used to start the viewer on another machine.
