libvirt users - Jan 2010 - monitor option in libvirt ?

Hello,

I woudl liek to start qemu-kvm with -monitor myfile.pipe options
instead of default -monitor pty

Anyway I have not found any way to tell libvirt (using virsh) that I 
want to set a specific
-monitor option to the qemu-kvm command line.

How can I do this ?
I do not want to start manually qemu-kvm because in this way I will 
loose the libvirt VM management

thanks

Rick

libvirt controls the monitor interface so it can manage the guest while it
is running.  As such we don't give users access to it, since having two
different things changing the running guest state is a recipe for trouble

Why do you need to acess the monitor directly ?  Our goal is to expose
APIs for any monitor command that users would need to use in administrative
tasks
