It's part of the kvm package in Lenny (kvm-60) and Sid (kvm-69). Sorry, it's installed under /usr/bin, not /usr/sbin. Here's the output of --help: # /usr/bin/kvmctl --help Usage: /usr/bin/kvmctl [OPTIONS] [bootstrap] flatfile KVM test harness. -s, --smp=NUM create a VM with NUM virtual CPUs -p, --protected-mode start VM in protected mode -m, --memory=NUM[GMKB] allocate NUM memory for virtual machine. A suffix can be used to change the unit (default: `M') -h, --help display this help screen and exit Report bugs to . Considering this is a test harness and not a control program, perhaps it should be renamed in the kvm sources/builds, to something more appropriate like kvmtest. > Anyways, I was afraid of these naming issues. kvmctl is pretty generic > name. Any suggestions? I'd prefer to keep the management/control scripts/apps named kvmctl, as that's easier to remember and fits with things like sysctl, apachectl, brctl, and other similar apps. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
