This is a bunch of utilities for xen hosts.  Some useful are for
admins, some for developers, some are just experiental and not
very useful at all ...

xenwatch
  First application which also gave the name to the whole package.
  gtk application, lists running domains with some properties, allows
  to connect to text console or vnc display.  Uses xenstore, thus
  does see active domains only.

xenscreen
  Attaches xen domain consoles to screen windows.  Great tool for
  text mode hackers and screen users.  This one can run either using
  xenstore or using libvirt.

xenstore
  gtk xenstore browser.  If you don't know what xenstore is you don't
  need it.

xenlog
  Log xenstore activity to stdout.

vnc-client
  xenwatch builtin vnc client as standalone application.

mdns-publish-xendom
  Publish xen uuid and domid via multicast dns.  Runs inside your
  xen guests aka domUs.  Doesn't notice save/restore and migration,
  due to xenstore watches not working inside guests, thus it isn't
  terribly useful ...

mdns-publish-vnc
  Publish vnc ports of xen guests via multicast dns.  Unconditionally,
  even when listening on 127.0.0.1 only (default) and thus you can't
  connect from outside anyway ...

mdns-browser
  Simple multicast dns service browser.

Depending on the libraries installed at build time some utilities might
not be built or build with incomplete features set.

You can make /var/run/xenstored/socket_ro world-readable, then the
utilities using xenstore will work for non-root users too.

enjoy,
  Gerd
