That's fine, I thought there was an option in api that make the start as normal one.

Ok, that's easy to accomplish.
But when I use restapi to start a VM, why does the log show me that it
runs in RUNONCE mode rather than NORMAL START?

since the api allows you to pass any parameter to affect the run.
does it matter?

        if a user shut down a vm from inside or via engine?
        i suggest an external script on engine monitoring its status and
        starting it for such a use case

    You mean a anacrontab script?
