→Listing Guest System Status
myXenGuest 6 300 1 -b---- 10.6
</pre>
The state column uses a single character to specify the state of the guest. These are as follows:
* '''r''' - running - The domain is currently running on a CPU
* '''b''' - blocked - The domain is blocked, and not running or runnable. This can be caused because the domain is waiting on IO (a traditional wait state) or has gone to sleep because there was nothing else for it to do.
* '''p''' - paused - The domain has been paused, usually occurring through the administrator running xm pause. When in a paused state the domain will still consume allocated resources like memory, but will not be eligible for scheduling by the Xen hypervisor.
* '''s''' - shutdown - The guest has requested to be shutdown, rebooted or suspended, and the domain is in the process of being destroyed in response.
* '''c''' - crashed - The domain has crashed, which is always a violent ending. Usually this state can only occur if the domain has been configured not to restart on crash.
* '''d''' - dying - The domain is in process of dying, but hasn't completely shutdown or crashed.
