xenburn ist ein kleiner bash wrapper, einen xen server zu meistern.

xenburn wrappt hauptsächlich um xl, unterstützt aber auch andernorts, zB bei der Genese neuer VMs.

xenburn kümmert sich um vier Belange:

• DOMAIN – Werkzeuge für eine einzelne domU
• FLI4L – Werkzeuge für den Flifl
• SYSTEM – Extra-Werkzeuge für alles, was so anfällt
• TEMPLATE – Werkzeuge für die Gold-Masters, aus templates baut man Rechner.

Bedient wird das ganze, wie von dem freundlichen Man-Text unten erläutert:

xenburn fli4l unblock <fli4l>           - (re)cfg a fli4l w/o the ip-blocks
xenburn fli4l update                    - non-interactively update base.txt and rebuild fli4l

Be advised that there is nothing more potent than xenburns list views, give fi
