Re: [Xen-users] XL Toolstack console doesn't work. XM Toolstack consoledoes work.

Hi Ian,

Darn I knew there was something I left out on other post. It certainly does 
appear to be running:

>> [root@core-01-fr ~]# ps aux | grep xenconsoled
>> root      4082  0.0  0.1  24640   716 ?        SLl  15:40   0:00 xenconsoled 
>> --pid-file=/var/run/xenconsoled.pid
>> root      4636  0.0  0.1  61180   780 pts/0    S+   16:21   0:00 grep 
>> xenconsoled

Not seen this service in prior versions of Xen, though, and have not made any 
attempts to configure it.
