Description

The Xen Shell commands list http://xen-tools.org/software/xen-shell/commands.html lists a sysreq command, which allows a 'Magic Keys' SysReq command to be sent through to a VPS. Would it be possible for this command to be supported in the xen-shell version deployed by Bitfolk? This would provide a useful tool for attempting interaction with a non-responsive VPS before resorting to the last-ditch destroy command.

Fair point. Were you aware that you can use sysrq through the console though? ctrl-o is the accessor key, so e.g. ctrl-o h brings up the help:

SysRq : HELP : loglevel0-8 reBoot tErm Full kIll saK showMem Nice powerOff showPc unRaw Sync showTasks Unmount

I didn't realise that - I've updated the Xen Shell page on the wiki to reflect this :-)
