BTW, Does libvirt supply any function which can return the process identifier of the domain?
No, we don't consider the PID of the QEMU process to be part of the public API, since that is a hypervisor specific implementation detail. Why do you want to know that ? Maybe there is some API you can use to get do the same thing
I agree with Dan that you're probably doing it for the wrong reasons and shouldn't need to know the PID. Nevertheless, it's pretty simple to map a running domain name to a qemu PID, by parsing the '-name' parameter from the process list. eg the following works for simple names (no spaces, metachars etc): $ sudo virsh list --all Id Name State ---------------------------------- 2 builder-rhel6 running $ ps ax | grep '[-]name builder-rhel6' | awk '{print $1}' 2311 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones New in Fedora 11: Fedora Windows cross-compiler.
