Hello, Is it possible to get the name of domU in any of the scripts in /etc/xen/scripts/. I need to do some stuff when I start the domU. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Easiest to just make a start script for dom-u''s that results in xm start (cfgfile) being called after the laundry list of things needing to happen to start the guest have been satisfied. Herbert Zu''s port of dash is a great shell to use for scripting on dom-0, nice and lightweight : http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/dash/ (85k stripped) opposed to 630k for bash and over a meg for perl. I further modified mine to take out things like printf, mail checks and other stuff not really used to make it a bit smaller, and have been adding some goodies in the builtins :) I suggest making scripts named start, stop, pause, unpause, reboot, usually those are the commands where you find you need to do extra things such as check on network storage or bring up a bridge / nic in a special way.

I need to do things with the vif ($vif is exported) and also the name (I canät find $name exported anywhere) of the domU. Thanks anyway. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
