I found no clean way to get the qemu pid from the python libvirt bindings, however irc discussion on #virt pointed to a better solution, using callbacks:
17:30 < eblake> hallyn: can you install an event callback, so that when the guest changes state your callback can take note of the fact that it rebooted? 17:31 < hallyn> eblake: that'd be neat 17:32 < hallyn> dir(vm) doesnt' show anything like 'registercallback' or 'event' or 'callback' 17:32 < hallyn> is that supported natively in the libvirt python bindings? 17:33 < hallyn> ah, registerCloseCallback perhaps? 17:33 < eblake> hallyn: yes, it is supported in python bindings 17:34 < eblake> not registerCloseCallback; give me a moment, and I'll point you to it... 17:34 < eblake> http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-python.git;a=blob;f=examples/event-test.py;h=aa3c5a755ab046af9154eeb754241d07b25b01f0;hb=b5e36a39581dbb8f64a9891fcd976c58af7f1e1e 17:35 < eblake> conn.domainEventRegisterAny, with libvirt.VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE, is most likely what you want I'm currently testing lv.registerCloseCallback (bc it was already started) but I'm sure eblake's suggestion is the better one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1329254 Title: VMs do not become inactive during the reboot on saucy and later hosts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1329254/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
