Display the currently running domains:

xl list

Their states:

• r - currently running
• b - blocked, and not running or runnable
• p - paused
• s - a shutdown command has been sent, but the domain isn't dying yet
• c - the domain has crashed
• d - the domain is dying, but hasn't properly shut down or crashed

This will pause a domain, but it will leave the resources and memory still claimed by the domain.

xl pause beandog

Also, leave the state:

xl unpause beandog
