Having issues with xenconsoled not properly starting/restarting with the options I want.

During some troubleshooting of a pvh guest, I attempted to relaunch xenconsoled with the following command as root: `xenconsoled --log=guest --log-dir=/var/log/xen/guest/ --timestamp=guest` but the command line reported in htop did not change.

If I killed the xencommons process and attempted to restart it using the same commandline, it would not start.

I also attempted to enable the trace functionality of xenconsoled by uncommenting the lines in `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/xencommons` and rebooting, but the process silently failed to start with those lines uncommented.

Is there a different/better way to specify these options for xenconsoled? Seems to not like the way I am going about this.

Thanks in advance
