I'm wondering if there's a preferred way to communicate between a host
and a VPS. For example, I'd like a VPS to occasionally communicate to
the host and request a checkpoint on its behalf. I suppose I could use
a named pipe or something, but was wondering if there's a better
mechanism that's typically used. Any thoughts?
thanks,
JP

John,
AFAIK, it can be done via unix socket or FIFO,
since both are limited by the viewpoint of file system and
host always can see VE files.
It also can be done via TCP or UDP.
AFAICS, in your case you are going to send only a small piece of data,
so any of these communications should be good for you.
Thanks,
Kirill

I want to clarify because I am also interested in something like this:
will UNIX sockets or FIFOs work between VE and VE0 and between one VE and
the other if and only if both sides see the node in the filesystem?
If so, is this design goal or something that works for now but could stop
working some day?
Thanks,
Grzegorz Kulewski
