Note

'telnet' and 'expect' packages must be installed in order to use this feature.

The following error message can be returned when stopping the virtual machine when trying to use the expect script example:

  • if expect package is not installed: "Stop script returned error code 126".
  • if telnet is not installed: "%EXPECT-F-NOSRM, Cannot continue, 'telnet' is not installed" then "Stop script returned error code 4"

Caution: the virtual machine process will be however killed by service management process

Warning

Console locked:

Any active session to the console must be killed before the "expect" script is executed.

(info) For example, if you are connected via "telnet" on the localhost/port (the kill is not done inside the expect script). See examples in the "/opt/charon/utils/charon_gstart.stop.example" file.

(warning) If the console is locked from another host (if you use putty for example), you will have to cancel the connection by yourself otherwise the shutdown will not be performed cleanly.
