Re: [Xen-users] domU consoles

Yes, but how about. let's say, 100 VMs ?
IMHO setting up shell aliases (eg. alias vm1='xm console dom1') would be
more scalable solution.
Though you'd lose screen buffer in this case and would not be able to
scroll back (or I am mistaken ?)
So here is a better solution using old good program called "screen":

alias vm1="screen -T vt100 -a -A -S vm1 xm console dom1"
alias scd='screen -dr'  # to re-attach screen
alias sls='screen -ls' # to list all screen sessions

Then you can run "vmN" will open screen sessions to domN from any shell.
Hi Yura,
I don't quite get the point: what's the advantage over issuing "xm console <DOMAIN>" and switching back to dom0 with CTRL+5 ? In each case you need 1 command to connect to the domU console and 1 to detach.

Greetz,
Andrej
