Thatâs right. It should work provided xapi has already been started.

Thanks. Yeah rc.local runs last of all after all the other init scripts on Debian AFAIK so it's *fairly* safe.. It worked a treat

Something I noticed the dom0 takes quite a long time to finish booting up now as one of my VMs (Debian 5 lenny) takes a while to return a 'started' state via the xe-tools (sits at yellow in XenCenter for a wile after it's console hits the login prompt).

Also, if I add a startup delay to one of the VMs will xapi respect this and defer it's start-up on running this command?
