When xen-tools is built with screen support, the xendomains script sometimes fails to start. The screen session has been created, but the domains are not started. It seems that the screen's zombie command fails, leading the whole script to failure. see /etc/init.d/xendomains:42: && ${screen_cmd} zombie dr \ I tried to move the zombie command at the end of the screen's commands and it solved the problem. --- /etc/init.d/xendomains 2010-09-26 23:48:24.218508438 +0200 +++ /etc/init.d/xendomains.new 2010-09-26 23:02:09.062508370 +0200 @@ -39,12 +39,12 @@ if using_screen ; then ebegin "Creating screen session to hold domain consoles" ( screen -d -m -S ${SCREEN_NAME} -t dom0 \ - && ${screen_cmd} zombie dr \ && logrotate -f /etc/xen/xen-consoles.logrotate \ && ${screen_cmd} logfile /var/log/xen-consoles/%t.log \ && ${screen_cmd} logfile flush ${SCREEN_LOG_INTERVAL:-1} \ && ${screen_cmd} log on \ - && ${screen_cmd} deflog on ) >/dev/null + && ${screen_cmd} deflog on \ + && ${screen_cmd} zombie dr ) >/dev/null if [[ $? -ne 0 ]] ; then eend 1 return 1 Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. start xendomains /etc/init.d/xendomains start Actual Results: gaia ~ # /etc/init.d/xendomains start * Starting Xen domains from /etc/xen/auto * Creating screen session to hold domain consoles ...
