KVM: run guest commands from host without SSH


Hi

I'm running qemu-kvm on a Suse server and want to automate commands on the guest account. I am not using any graphical interface meaning everything has to be done through the command line. The goal is for automated deployment so SSH (even with keys) is not an option. The docs (or lack thereof) on VMchannel have me lost, and I'm not even sure if that is the tool I need. I believe I have to do serial something, but I'm not sure. I'm pretty new to Linux and networking in general so detail/explanation would be greatly appreciated

Thanks.

There is the combination of a serial console and the sendKey monitor command in qemu
