[libvirt-users] Starting a program inside VM through libvirt

[Jørgen Nordmoen]

Wow, thanks. That looks like what I need and much more!

I'm currently looking for support for LXC and XEN, and maybe KVM later so I
want a solution that is as hypervisor agnostic as possible so qemu-ga might
not be as usable as libguestfs.

Best regards.
