This time it complains with an interesting error message:

  # rlwrap /usr/local/sbin/qemu-preprod
  qemu: could not open monitor device 
'unix:/var/run/qemu/preprod.monitor,nowait'

  # ls -l /var/run/qemu/preprod.monitor
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-10-23 14:56 /var/run/qemu/preprod.monitor

BTW, how can I connect to the monitor session -- if I can get it right
at last -- that will be pointed by /var/run/qemu/preprod.monitor?

Umm... Actually, no. I can see it listens on 5901.
