<div>
<div> </div>
<div>regarding the latter, I'd assume that saying vm running you mean that the os is up and running too.</div>
<div>I have similar need, I was able to get something as such to work using virsh console when the guest was a linux with serial console support enabled.</div>
<div>I wasn't able to get this to work in a script as I was never able to terminate the console seesion as virsh console wasn't able to send the termination combination properly.</div>
<div>I'm using expect for automation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>hope this helps somhow.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Dagg.

<b>Subject:</b> Determining when a guest booted / how long it's been running</div>
<div name="quoted-content">
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p> Is there a way to tell when a tool made a change to guest (ie: used virt-manager to make a change)? Following, is there a way to check to see if there are changes queued to take effect when the guest next reboots?</p>
<p> If either of the above are not possible, is there a way to see when a guest last booted or how long a guest has been running?</p>
<p>Thanks!<br/>
