Hi, I'm trying to create a Perl script with Sys::Virt (perl bindings). I'm also using Virsh for testing / experimenting, so this is in no way related to my Perl script (I mentioned it because there might be a sollution that I could use / implement). When connecting to libvirtd using a xen+ssh// connection, it connects, libvirt commands are executing, but on virsh "quit" (or when my script terminates), the connection is blocked. It bothers me because my script doesn't terminate. While running with LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 I get the following messages: 14:30:51.086: debug : virDomainFree:1893 : domain=0x8791ff8 14:30:51.086: debug : virUnrefDomain:367 : unref domain 0x8791ff8 malcolm 1 14:30:51.086: debug : virReleaseDomain:325 : release domain 0x8791ff8 malcolm 14:30:51.087: debug : virReleaseDomain:337 : unref connection 0x87308a0 3 14:30:51.087: debug : virDomainFree:1893 : domain=0x8791f28 14:30:51.087: debug : virUnrefDomain:367 : unref domain 0x8791f28 Domain-0 1 14:30:51.087: debug : virReleaseDomain:325 : release domain 0x8791f28 Domain-0 14:30:51.087: debug : virReleaseDomain:337 : unref connection 0x87308a0 2 14:30:51.087: debug : virConnectClose:1203 : conn=0x87308a0 14:30:51.087: debug : call:6947 : Doing call 2 (nil) 14:30:51.087: debug : call:7017 : We have the buck 2 0x8796f68 0x8796f68 14:30:51.090: debug : processCallRecvLen:6605 : Got length, now need 28 total (24 more) 14:30:51.090: debug : processCalls:6873 : Giving up the buck 2 0x8796f68 (nil) 14:30:51.090: debug : call:7048 : All done with our call 2 (nil) 0x8796f68 Is this normal?
