Not to mention ability to run them remotely, with authentication > and encryption, etc We also support running the tools from memory images which you can capture using the QEMU "memsave" command (see the '-t' option). No libvirt required for that, _but_ to see any interesting stuff you'd need to capture the entire guest memory which could obviously be quite large. You could do 'virt-mem capture' which captures just the bits of memory that contain interesting data, and that reduces the amount of data you need to capture substantially. Unfortunately I broke 'virt-mem capture' in the latest release by accident, and in any case it requires libvirt to do the capturing. I think the message here is, install libvirt & be happy :-) Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
