Hi,
Sometimes it can be convenient to change the path where xm looks for
vm config files.
SuSE for example sets it to /etc/xen/vm, which I find quite nice. But
they change the path by hard-coding it in the xm code - which I don't
want to make for my Debian package installed xen hosts, and don't want
to do it on the machines where I use plain xensource xen.

It looks in the code like xm could take some variable PATH as default
instead the one that is hardcoded, but it seems not to be the PATH
environment variable. does anyone have an idea if that can be changed
somehow . maybe a config option in the xend config file?

The possibility of giving the search path with the xm create option
path is not really useful - then I can also give the absolute path.

Henning
