Yes, true. I think privcmd might be more appropriate for /proc, but would like to see how it works as a binary file under /sys. ioctl's are not supported by sysfs that I can see, so privcmd would have to be a read/write interface. Regardless of privcmd there are numerous simple attributes related to Xen that are consistent with "zen" of sysfs. :-) Mike -- Mike D.
