Subject: tools/console: reset tty when xenconsole fails From: Ian Jackson ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com Mon Feb 24 15:16:19 2014 +0000 Date: Wed Mar 19 13:37:19 2014 +0000: Git: 111931f36885874103d65685ab15ea3d25d93da7 If xenconsole (the client program) fails, it calls err. This would previously neglect to reset the user's terminal to sanity. Use atexit to do so. This routinely happens in Xen 4.4 RC5 with pygrub because libxl writes the value "" to the tty xenstore key when using xenconsole. After this patch this just results in a harmless error message.
