They don't all make a whole lot of sense in the context of KVM. A KVM VM is just like a Linux process. You can use the traditional process states for a VM. One thing that's missing from KVM/QEMU is the ability to determine if a VM is stopped.

The monitor is an RPC protocol that also happens to be human readable. It would be real nice to have a client library for that protocol for many different languages but, of course, that's what libvirt is :-) Regards, Anthony Liguori > /Jd > > > >>> Thanks >>> /Jd >>> >>> >>> >>> >> _______________________________________________________________________ >> ____ >> >>> _________ >>> 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?
