I think we need option 2 in any case for users not using libvirt. I for one wouldn't really love to type in monitor commands every few seconds to get the streaming done. ;-) Let's start with this. We can always add option 1 for more sophisticated cases later if it's desired by users. Kevin -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
