[ ok ] * Starting domain debian31" ... [ ok ] When I shut this down, it doesn't recognise this domain: # /etc/init.d/xendomains stop * Shutting down Xen domains from /etc/xen/auto * Not stopping domain debian31" - not running * Closing screen session xen ... This seems to screw things up when I reboot - the domain won't start. The solution is: don't use numbers in the xen domain name (maybe the init script should point this out if this is important) OR to replace ":alpha:" with ":alnum:" in line 14 in the /etc/init.d/xendomains script thus local name_from_file=$(sed -rn 's/^name\W*=\W*\"?([[:alpha:]_]+)\"?\W*;?/\1/p' "${1}" | tail -n 1) changes to local name_from_file=$(sed -rn 's/^name\W*=\W*\"?([[:alnum:]_]+)\"?\W*;?/\1/p' "${1}" | tail -n 1) aross@gentoo.org 2006-09-22 07:29:49 0000 Thanks, your fix will be included in -r4 robert.spam.me.senseless@gmail.com 2006-09-24 04:51:34 0000 Maybe a few other character should be allowed. The demo domains have "-" and "." in them. I think that these should work run without errors. aross@gentoo.org 2006-10-13 17:06:40 0000 Fixed in app-emulation/xen-tools-3.0.2-r4, thanks.
