Hi It would be convenient to have access to the config file (full path) and the command line (startup parameters) through xml-rpc (DomInfo) interface. Currently I have seen, our product and others reading files... and trying to match dom names etc...which is quite error prone and kludgy.

If so this capability became available when the recent Xen-API work was merged. If you do an ''xm list'' it''ll show both running and inactive guests - the latter have an id of -1. This is only available in xen-unstable tree & thus will be in 3.0.4 release. Until then, reading/parsing the config files from /etc/xen is only option. I''ve added support for doing just this in libvirt so we can work on older 3.0.2, and 3.0.3 releases, as well as making use of the new APIs in 3.0.4 Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
