Dear all,

there is a problem with xl that will still prevent it tob e a=20
replacement for xm in /etc/init.d/xendomains.

I tracked it down to the rdname function in the a.m. file, which is=20
expecting the command

  xm create --dryrun --quiet <config-file>

to create a Lisp-like structure, where the xendomain script will extract=20
the DomU name from.

  xl create --dryrun --quiet <config-file>

will not output such a structure.=20

  xl -d -f <config-file>=20

will do, but as soon as combined with -n, it will not.

My setting is starting/shutting down only DomUs mentioned in=20
/etc/xen/auto.

BR,
Carsten.
