'service-monitorin'  is exactly 17 characters long. And if I look at the
shell code in /etc/init.d/xendomains there's this interesting function


parseln()
{
    name=`echo "$1" | cut -c0-17`
    name=${name%% *}
    rest=`echo "$1" | cut -c18- `
    read id mem cpu vcpu state tm < <(echo "$rest")
}

which is used to parse the output of 'xm list'. The 'cut -c0-17' bit looks
like the obvious problem - truncating the name at 17 characters :-(

Dan.
