Hi,
To connect to the guest with ID 7 running under QEMU
virt-viewer --connect qemu:///system 7
Can we *please* think about a standardized environment variable to set the default for --connect and which all tools are looking at?
Yes, this would be useful.
virsh has VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI for that.
I'd like to have *one* variable used by *all* libvirt-based tools, virt-viewer, virt-manager, virsh, ... We could simply reuse the virsh variable, or we could pick some other name without virsh in there, preferable also shorter and thus easier to remember. VIRT_URI maybe?
We should probably apply the change to libvirt, so that if 'NULL' is used for the connect URI for virConnectOpen, and VIRT_CONNECT_URI is set, then NULL gets substituted with the value of the env variable.
