[Qemu-devel] Using the qemu Monitor

[Julian Chesterfield]

Is there a way to redirect monitor IO to a local socket, e.g. a unix 
filehandle socket, under linux? When I try to redirect to a pty using 
'-monitor pty' the graphical qemu window doesn't boot. Am I starting 
it incorrectly?

ARGS:
qemu -hda <IMAGE> -m 256 -boot c -nics 1 -n <IFUP_SCRIPT> -full-screen 
-monitor pty

I then get the message:
char device redirected to /dev/pts/0

I'd like to be able to control the qemu monitor from a separate process 
instead of the default console STDIO.

Thanks!
Julian
