Xen users - Feb 2007 - Extending console via www in Xen 3.x

Hello to all,

Xen 2 had a very inefficient neatness about it which I miss, a console
redirect was created upon every guest starting and one could easily
determine the port to use if you wanted to extend it to a java based
telnet console. 

I''d really like to be able to extend the console in Xen 3 in a similar
fashion, but it seems that I have to invoke xm console prior to it being
established (and re-direction afterward).

Is anyone else doing this, if so, how? And am I missng something
obvious?

Thanks very much in advance.

Best,
--Tim

Apart from being very hard to install, and having even broke my yum
install on fedora(which the technical manager of the project states as
being "normal" for beta software, but something bad like that never
happened to me in 10 years), enomalism does, or tries to do something
like that with an http based ajax console.

It seems they have some problems still on the communications from the
system to the ajax console(say: I see what I type in the browser when
looking at a "normal" xm console, but the echo doesn''t appear
in the
ajax console), but they are on their way.

On Ubuntu, It didn''t crash my apt and worked nice after finding the
right tweks, but on Fedora you should try with a system you can afford
to throw away - even then, I didn''t get it to work there. I have added
a lot of things that go wrong and their workarounds in their forum.
