Hello,
A bogus script of ours was doing
xl shutdown "${VM_NAME}"
but VM_NAME happened to be empty. The effect is to shutdown dom0, i.e.
shut the whole machine without asking for anything!
Molly-guard should trap this too, to make the user have to type the name
of dom0.
Trapping
xl shutdown Domain-0
would probably be useful, though much less probable than
xl shutdown ""
