Change on_poweroff while domain is running

Change on_poweroff while domain is running

[Jose A. Lopes]

Hello,

Is it possible to change the 'on_poweroff' attribute while a domain is running?
That is, without having to destroy the instance and creating it again.

Best regards,
Jose

Using xl, not currently AFAIK.

I can see how this might be useful though, so it's is something we could
consider for 4.5, patches welcomed. I'd think that stashing the setting
in xenstore and providing a command to change it, with the attendant
watches in the xl monitoring daemon would be the way to go.

It might also be useful to have a mechanism to have xl start monitoring
a domain which it didn't just create, which would allow the daemon to be
restarted e.g. on upgrade.
