Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by mapping how hyperkit currently discovers and controls running instances, then define the command's scope and interfaces for listing, power operations, VM configuration, and ISO mounting; the work is done when those behaviors have an agreed implementation and validation plan.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
It would be convenient to have a hyperkit-ctl command that could:
- List running instances
- Perform shutdown/poweroff/reboot operations
- Show VM configuration
- Mount/Unmount ISO's
This came up in discussion on the LinuxKit slack channel when the "interface" for interacting with running instances was described as ps aux | grep hyperkit and kill -9.
