Xen users - Mar 2011 - running "service --status-all" (xend status check) shuts down eth1

Running "service --status-all" (checking the status of all services)
eventually gets to checking on xend, when it does, it shuts down eth1.

I was not expecting this behavior, I thought status would just tell me
if its running, not do anything else.

Details below if anyone is interested. You can see me press control c
in surprise as I begin to comprehend that my remote ssh is about to be
dropped with eth1.

Checking status of xend (pid 18427)     eth1      device: Intel
Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01)
             No configuration found for eth1
             Nevertheless the interface will be shut down.

What distro did you use? Do you use bundled Xen? Most likely it''s init
scripts bug, or possibly xen''s network-bridge script bug.

I create my own bridge using OS config files
(/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br* on RHEL). Running the
command shows something like this

xend is running
Checking for xendomains: 2008ent-t oi rhel5-build rhel6-tes[  OK  ][running]

You might want to try downloading rpm package from Centos5.5 and just
use its init script (/etc/init.d/xend*)

The server is running SUSE 11.1, yes am guilty of running a bundled
distribution of xen. I will examine /etc/init.d/xend and the bridge
script(s).

This problem is very probably related to the bridge being
circumvented: on this server the bridge was taken down temporarily. If
the bridge is up and configured properly getting xend''s status causes
no noticeable problems.

Thank you for your help and insight.
