For the same reason that we sometimes redirect the output of background shell commands to a file :-) Solution: 'wait -background' for those async notifications. Or simply 'notify -background event-type', no need for a wait command if you give that option. Or conversely 'notify -channel 1 event-type' to direct the events to channel 1, and 'wait -channel 1' to show events on that channel. -- Jamie -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
