Hi guys, some time ago I've been investigating the options to get the guest's IP address information without having to connect to guest's VNC window or console. It was for one project I've been working on and I found that the solution lies in the procfs, precisely in the /proc/{PID}/net/arp...
The format is as follows:
$ cat /proc/{PID}/net/arp IP address HW type Flags HW address Mask Device 192.168.122.36 0x1 0x2 52:54:00:35:76:e6 * virbr0
I took a look at this and wonder what's the difference between /proc/{PID}/net/arp and /proc/net/arp. Also as it's ARP it'll only work for IPv4. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com
