Does xhyve have a headless mode? #56

Thinking that you probably don't want to add the serial device and push stdout to it?

c4milo commented 9 years ago

Sure, why not. I actually tried what people have been doing with bhyve to achieve the same, which is changing:

LPC_DEV="-l com1,stdio"

to:

LPC_DEV="-l com1"

But xhyve stops booting the image when I do that.

I saw the following in https://github.com/nlf/dhyve.

nohup xhyve $args,"$cmdline" </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &

It might work for you.

If you don't want serial output (to stdio or another tty) just comment out the LPC_DEV="-l com1,stdio" line altogether, works fine.

Good to know.

It seems reasonable, thanks @ailispaw.
