Pkg xen devel - Mar 2010 - Bug#574675: xen-utils-common: stop fails when some of the daemons are not running

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 3.4.2-3
Severity: normal

If one daemon is running but the others are not then the stop script will 
fail.

It should use the pid file for each daemon and try to stop them independently.

Note that the fact that Xen shouldn't get into this state is not relevant,
daemons do periodically fail, relevant system control scripts should be able
to stop them even when dependencies are not working.

The init script does not even attempt to stop xenconsoled and xenstored.
This is intentional, as there is no way to recover properly.
