[one-users] vmm driver result in shell

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Is your command very resource-intensive?

I'm thinking that maybe you could just add your commands to the periodic VM
monitorization. Or add a flag somewhere to indicate if the operation should
be done in the next poll action... If you avoid to change the OpenNebula
code it will be easier to distribute, use with newer versions, etc.
