[Xen-users] some more tweaking in xendomains script

[Florian Heigl <florian.heigl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I wonder if one of you has changed /etc/init.d/xendomains to run in a
different order?
My idea is to have it
* initiate a xm shutdown,
* wait for the --halt --wait until the XENDOMAINS_STOP_MAXWAIT is reached
* then (and not as the first step!)
* if XENDOMAINS_SYSRQ is set,
* fire the specific sysrq's and sleep for the XENDOMAINS_CREATE_USLEEP
before finally
* doing an xm destroy



oh, and while at it, it might be also *about time* to add xm trigger
<domid> power in between those steps?
This is needed for any HVM domU that doesn't have anything listening on Xenbus.

Another bad thing is that the maxwait timer affects any "command" no
matter if that acts on all VMs or on a single one, whereas this has a
huge impact in practice.

imho this could improve a lot and will help all users - so to avoid
reinventing wheels, *PLEASE* let me know if you did any
modifications/improvments there so we can merge them and commit back
one thing.

Thanks & greetings,
Florian
