Yes, I'm surprised you found it useful in XenServer/XCP for anything
other than status checking commands. You can certainly install these
commands in Ubuntu, but I believe that the /etc/default/xen TOOLSTACK
parameter will need to be set to xm or xl for those commands to work. We
did that on purpose so that xm/xl and xe would be mutually exclusive.
