[Qemu-devel] Patches: -pidfile and -vncport

[Felipe Sanchez]

Hello, here are a couple of small patches for some extra features:

1) qemu-pidfile.patch

Adds a "-pidfile <file>" option allowing qemu to write it's PID to a file.
I've a set of scripts for managing several qemu instances in a server and
having the ability to track them without resorting to the monitor line
comes in very handy. I hope it's of use for some of you.

It should apply over the latest CVS version.


BTW, is there a way to enable the monitor console to work over a FIFO?

Like for sending commands to the qemu instance by reading/writing them to
the FIFO?


2) qemu-vncport.patch

Adds a "-vncport <port>" command line option allowing you to explicitly
set the TCP port the VNC framebuffer will listen at, in case you are using
the RFB patch available at http://libvncserver.sf.net.

Also sets the default behavior of the RFB buffer for autochoosing the TCP
port, in case you don't use the -vncport feature.

This patch applies over the aforementioned RFB patch: qemu-rfb9.patch

Any comments are very welcome   :-)


Felipe Sanchez.
