That's not entirely true. Modern libvirt has 'virsh qemu-monitor-command domain command...' which lets you type arbitrary monitor commands. But that command is explicitly unsupported - while it is generally safe to use for query-only commands, it definitely causes problems if you do a monitor command that affects qemu state behind libvirt's back. -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
