I bet.  For a long time, that worked, well, sortof.  there were always
problems when two people were on the same console.   

I noticed that with the latest RHEL5 (centos5) xen package, though,
they added some locking.  If you try to xm console to the same domain
twice, it won't let you.   Which I think is great, as it makes the whole 
console experience feel more reliable to the end user.

To answer the original question, I use kill on the xm console process
I want gone.
