And with the latest qemu, which supports monitor > command "human-monitor-command", it's more compact, e.g. Very interesting, thanks for the pointer. It also looks like the qemu-monitor-command (without the new --hmp switch) could also be useful for some basic code access to the monitor commands. I could send them through virsh instead of my own qmp socket. If there are specific commands that I end up using a lot, then I'll look into extending the libvirt API to support them more cleanly.
