    Hi

    I'm writing a bash script to backup my parallels VMs. The script runs as root, but my VMs are started when logged in as my user acct. When I do a prlctl as root, there are no VMs seen. If I log in as my user acct, then prlctl list does show my VMs. There seems to be no way for prlctl to show ALL VMs registered--it seems limited to looking at those associated with the logged-in account. Is there a way for root to know the list of VMs running under any other user?

    Thanks
