== Create a new domain with a config file ==

<code>
xl create xen.cfg
</code>

== Display all running domains ==

<code>
xl list
</code>

== Shutdown a domain immediately ==

This is similar to pulling the power cable on a server.

<code>
xl destroy vm
</code>

== Send a shutdown signal ==

Poweroff, the nice way.

<code>
xl shutdown vm
</code>

== Reboot a domain ==

<code>
xl reboot
</code>

== Open a console ==

<code>
xl console beandog
</code>

To detach the console: ctl and ]

xl console might have trouble wrapping in a tmux session.

== List domains ==

Display the currently running domains:

<code>
xl list
</code>

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

== Pause a domain ==

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

<code>
xl pause beandog
</code>

Also, leave the state:

<code>
xl unpause beandog
</code>

== Display message buffer ==

Displays ''dmesg'' output of the Xen domain kernel.

<code>
xl dmesg
</code>
