There is no guest_ping command, only guest-ping. It's a bug in libvirt that guest-agent-command doesn't output a useful error message when attempting to run a non-existing command, but you'll never hit that bug if you pass valid commands to the agent in the first place. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
