Setting libvirtd to delay start of vm

[r00igev@@r]

How does a person configure libvirtd to delay the start of a vm. Dr google has failed me.

Do you want to delay it for a set time after host startup or delay it until something else has happened?

I want to delay it till the network bridges come up. Currently the vm fails as it cannot see the br0 and br1 interfaces. Doing a sudo service libvirtd restart afterwards brings the vm up.
I suspect it is maybe a few seconds, not more than 20 maximum.

You can specify the requirements to start in the systemd service file.
Under the "[Unit]", you can add "After=network.service", for example

So success!
The libvirtd unit file needed this:
BindsTo=sys-devices-virtual-net-br0.device
BindsTo=sys-devices-virtual-net-br1.device
BindsTo=sys-devices-virtual-net-br2.device
After=sys-devices-virtual-net-br0.device
After=sys-devices-virtual-net-br1.device
After=sys-devices-virtual-net-br2.device
