virt-viewer: Wait for a virtual machine to start and automatically reconnect if it shutdown and restarts.
$ virt-viewer --reconnect --wait "${domain}"
try on your machine

The virt-viewer command is used to display the graphical console of a virtual machine. The --reconnect option allows you to reconnect to a previously disconnected virtual machine session. The --wait option stands for waiting for the specified virtual machine to become available.

In this particular command, the value of the ${domain} variable is provided as an argument, which represents the unique identifier or name of the virtual machine you want to reconnect and wait for.

So, the command virt-viewer --reconnect --wait "${domain}" means to reconnect to the virtual machine specified by ${domain} and wait for it to become available if it is currently disconnected.
