This past week, [[User:Rjones|Richard W.M. Jones]] posted a number of tidbits on interesting ways of manipulating virtual machines using Fedora. First, there is <tt>virt-rescue</tt><ref>http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/09/22/virt-rescue/</ref>, which "lets you get a rescue shell on your virtual machine" but running on the host machine. The <tt>virt-edit</tt><ref>http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/09/23/virt-edit/</ref> tool allows you to edit files from the host environment. Lastly, <tt>virt-ifconfig</tt><ref>http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/09/24/virt-ifconfig/</ref> can list the IP addresses of network interfaces on virtual machine guests.
