The uml-utilities daemon is designed to create, once installed, a default ctl file in the following location:
/var/run/uml-utilities/uml_switch.ctl
then when started it waits for $UML_SWITCH_CTL which is by default set to
the previous parameter.
If you go in to the uml-utilities source code the usage it expects is
descripted in the following way (uml_switch.c):
fprintf(stderr, "\tand run the UMLs with "
"'eth0=daemon,,unix,<control>,<data>'\n");
and also, if not specified, it expects to find it in here (uml_switch.c):
static char *ctl_socket = "/tmp/uml.ctl";

In this way you specify the data it expects! Doesn't it?
