Beyond that, it's more of a task for the client of libvirt, and not something core to libvirt itself, which is why shipping something else new in the 'libvirt-bin' package is probably overkill. But as always, since this is open source, you're welcome to modify libvirt-guests or use it as a starting point in writing your own management projects on top of libvirt, or to contribute patches to libvirt with justification of why something belongs in libvirt proper. Enhancements to virsh in the meantime can make the script more efficient - for example, 'virsh list --uuid' is much more reliable than that scripts attempts to parse vm names out of a longer 'virsh list' output. That script suffers from poor shell programming practices, and will fall over if you have an VM names containing a space. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
