walter,

thanks for d reply,

but how can i use it in a script.

this is my script to shutoff vms before the backup
----------------------------------

#stop VMS

$VMS = vm1 vm2 vm3... etc"
	echo "Bringing Down the VMs"

	for vms in $VMS
	do
		xm shutdown $vms
	done

	for vms in $VMS
	do
		echo -n -e "\t\t$vms : "
		#xm shutdown $vms
		#wait until shutdown or wait 1min
		COUNTER=0
		while [  $COUNTER -lt 60 ]; do
		        /////****here i wont to check whether the VM status, whether
runnig or shutoff
		        if [ its down]; then
		                echo "ITS Down"
                		break
		        fi
		        sleep 1
		        let COUNTER=COUNTER+1
		done

		/////****here again i wont to check whether the VM status, whether
runnig or shutoff
		if [ if its still runnig destroy ]; then
			xm destroy $vms
			sleep 3
		fi


so how can i check the vm status to use in this code...

any help is appreciated.

thanks, rushdhi..
