xennigan

========

`xennigan` is a shell to run on a xen dom0 to give domu admins the ability

to issue some `xl` commands for their domu.

Example

    ssh xennigan@dom0

    nameofdomu> help

    Available commands:

     status       shows status of domu

     shutdown     sends shutdown signal to domu

     reboot       sends reboot signal to domu

     console      opens console to domu

     destroy      immediate shutdown of domu

     create       starts domu if not running

     exit         exits shell

    nameofdomu> status

    Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs  State   Time(s)

    nameofdomu                                  37  2048     8     -b----  497606.7

    nameofdomu> reboot

Installation

------------

First build and install.

    apt-get install cmake build-essential libboost-regex-dev \

            libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev \

            libboost-system-dev libreadline-dev python3

    mkdir build && cd build

    cmake ..

    make

    sudo make install

By default, `xennigan` assumes your xen domu configuration files are stored

as

    /etc/xen/nameofdomu.cfg

Put the SSH public keys allowed to control the domu `nameofdomu` in

    /etc/xen/nameofdomu.keys

Then run

    update-xennigan

This will check the environment and willl fill the `authorized_keys` file

of the `xennigan` user appropriately.

An admin can now control their domu by SSHing as the `xennigan`

user to the dom0.

TODO

----

- Write man page.

- Packaging.
