While (almost) all systems have some kind of console, not all systems stay at a text-console during runtime. If you want to watch a linux-terminal-server, its not a text-console that is the primary screen. And then watching the text-console for a login:-prompt tells you that the machine is up. "Pressing" enter tells you that the login-process is still answering. But that doesn't tell you whether the webserver on that machine is still working correctly. Its not even telling you if the machine is reacting to network stuff. All it tells you is that some kind of system is started. So its actually only a little more then "virsh list |grep <machinename>" tells you. Imho watching the console for monitoring a machine is as useless as it can get. Have fun, Arnold
