[libvirt-users] libvirt connections

Hello, I'm working with libvirt version 0.7.7 and encountered some problems with ssh connections to the xen hypervisor: - if the hypervisor is not running libvirt.open("xen+ssh://host") doesn't time out put keeps trying to connect to host on port 8000. I've tried with the following test program: try: conn = libvirt.open("xen+ssh://host") except: print "failed" sys.exit(1) However: after aborting the program with Ctrl-C I get the exception. - I want to close all libvirt connections at the end, but closing the connections does not close the ssh - nc connections libvirt opens in the background to talk to the hypervisor. I have to manually delete all domain objects as well to get the pending ssh - nc connections closed. I can keep on using the domain object, even if I closed the connection before. Is this behaviour intended? Any help would be great. K. Haselhorst
