Great feedback and thank you. Looks like it might not hurt to continue the work, at least for now. My reasoning for a C based tool was to be able to use libvmmapi to get deeper integration with the bhyve framework. Let's see how things go. I will work on getting the basics functioning and get a build out. Folks can try it out, and if there's interest, we can talk about what would a good local bhyve administration tool should look like. Seems like there are at least a few people with ideas they would like to see implemented. The basics can be easily re-factored so this effort won't be wasted. The initial features will mimic iohyve and vmrc with more or less the same cmdline usage: 1. Build a VM based on configuration (simple to start, UCL is the goal) 2. Start/stop/restart VM (Attempt graceful shutdown, option for forced) 3. StartAll/StopAll/RestartAll VMs 4. List basic status of VMs 5. Destroy a VM Won't be dealing with ZFS management yet.
