virt-viewer: qemu+ssh to a KVM host running SSH on a different port

Well, I’ve been tinkering with KVM the last few days and I’ve been stuck accessing the KVM guests (as the guests are running on a host I don’t have my Xorg server running on). After a bit of searching, I actually found what I was looking for.

Piecing together from both sources, to connect to a KVM host, that has SSH running on a different port:

`1`	`virt-viewer --connect qemu+ssh://root@kvm.home.barfoo.org:222/system guest`
