Hello all, I have modified some of my programs that use libxenstat to produce bash arrays of running VM''s, below is a sample of the output: root@tower:/root# xm-shdomains # Xen guest info # Generated by xm-shdomains guest_name[0]="Domain-0" guest_id[0]=0 guest_cpu[0]=40 guest_mem[0]=85 guest_vcpus[0]=2 guest_name[1]="edgy1" guest_id[1]=6 guest_cpu[1]=0 guest_mem[1]=13 guest_vcpus[1]=1 total_guests=1 # End Xen guest info. With that output, you can use simple bash scripts to validate a dom-u as running, dead, whatever, i.e. : root@tower:/root# ./chkdom edgy1 Domain edgy1 is running. root@tower:/root# echo $? 0 root@tower:/root# ./chkdom edgy2 Domain edgy2 is not running. root@tower:/root# echo $? 1 root@tower:/root# The code (bash) is very simple: root@tower:/root# cat chkdom #!/bin/bash xm-shdomains > /tmp/$$.domains source /tmp/$$.domains rm -f /tmp/$$.domains target="$1" i=0 while [ $i -le $total_guests ]; do if [ ${guest_name[i]} = "$target" ]; then echo "Domain $target is running." exit 0 fi let "i += 1" done echo "Domain $target is not running." exit 1 root@tower:/root# If anyone wants a copy, e-mail me. I need to clean up the XML stuff that is in other programs in the repo before release. This is super handy for init scripts and other stuff :) Soon coming, PHP arrays :) Best, --Tim _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
