    • If the guest is in STOPPED state, an additional information will be displayed:
      • REQUESTED: the service has been stopped by user request or has not been started on Linux server boot due to boot parameter set to off
      • FAILURE: the guest process failed
    OnBootDisplays the automatic boot on server startup value, YES or NO.
    (warning) This means the Charon virtual machine will be started. To automatically boot the virtual machine on startup, please refer to the Charon-PAR and console settings.

    • Service start and/or stop timeouts
    • Description
    • Start/stop date if available
    • Stop script - Displays the status of the stop script used to perform a clean shutdown of the guest. Can be:
      • Not found: the script has not been created. (warning) If not found, a service stop request will induce a kill of the emulator process
      • To customize: the script exists and a case line has been added for the specified configuration file. It must however be customized with some commands to perform a clean shutdown of the guest (HP-UX or MPE/iX virtual machine).
        (info) For more information and examples, see VM management - Create/Edit guest stop script
      • Case not set : the script exists but does not relate to the specified configuration file. This means it has either been created manually or initialized automatically by the menu and a new guest has been added after initialization.
      • [Using XXX] where XXX can be EXPECT, RSH or SSH: the script exists and a case line has been added for the specified configuration file and it uses the shutdown scripts provided with the kit

    • Network Interfaces settings with some checks performed. A NIC displayed followed by a number between parenthesis means an issue has been discovered: (1)=NIC does not exist, (2)=NIC is not managed by ncu, (3)=NIC is already used, (4)=NIC has an IP address.
