You don't need to do that. As Wilmer already mentioned, xendomains freezes the domU state and saves it in a file. When the dom0 boots back up, xendomains will restore the state in which the domU was when dom0 was shutting down. In other words it does the job for you already.

If you still want to shutdown the domains and NOT save their states you could disable xendomains and place a script which just issue a shutdown to each xen domain running.

Thanks.

This "tries" worries me ;-).

Well, then I will have to devise a plan how to freeze dom0 shutdown so that
domU will shutdown properly with "xendomains stop" (K??xendomains) script.

DomU must really shutdown first before anything in dom0 shuts down.
