Re: [Xen-users] Xen Orchestra : web app for managing Xen with one or more Dom0

[Dennis Storm - Drecomm BV <d.storm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Olivier!

Thanx for creating this very handy interface! One small thing though:

When pushing the "stop" button on the interface behind a DomU it sends a 
"destroy" command, which is a tad bit resolute. Wouldn't it be wiser to 
send a "shutdown" command instead of radically killing it, and add a 
button that functions as a killswitch?
Kind regards,
