root@xen:~# ls -la /var/run/xen/xenstored.pid 
-rw-r----- 1 root root 6 Oct 28 15:15 /var/run/xen/xenstored.pid

  
   33 ?        00:00:00 xenwatch
   34 ?        00:00:00 xenbus
   45 ?        00:00:00 xenbus_frontend
  785 ?        00:00:00 xen_pciback_wor
 1137 ?        00:00:00 xenwatchdogd
 1169 ?        00:00:00 xen-init-dom0
 1175 ?        00:00:00 xenconsoled

xenstored is running

not just a simple pid check
