Re: [libvirt-users] Starting a program inside VM through libvirt

Hi again.

I was just wondering if there are any support for running programs inside a VM through libvirt. From what I can see in the API the only solution I found was connecting to the VM with openConsole and running the program I want. This however seems a bit tricky through Python and I was just wondering if there are any simpler solutions.

libguestfs does the work. http://libguestfs.org/ And you might also want to have a look at qemu-ga, Libvirt supports to talk to qemu-ga with APIs (only a few qemu-ga commands), and anyway qemu-ga supports relatively few commands, no support for running a program inside a guest yet. Regards, Osier
