Brief clarification and practical steps. As asked how to shut down a "xenbox" over telnet, note first that the procedure depends on whether the telnet session is into the Xen host (dom0) or into a guest console. Also, as reminded, avoid cross-posting; and 's link aside, the commands below cover the common cases.

When telnetting into the Xen host (dom0), find the domain and request a graceful shutdown with the Xen toolstack. Typical commands:

xm list      # or use xl list on newer Xen
xm shutdown <domain-name-or-id>
xm destroy <domain-name-or-id>   # force power-off if shutdown fails
xm console <domain-name-or-id>   # attach to guest console

If the telnet connection is directly to the guest console (a serial/console proxy), run the guest OS shutdown command instead. Common examples: shutdown -h now, poweroff, init 0, or systemctl poweroff on systemd systems; Windows guests use shutdown /s /t 0. Use sudo or root where required.

Cautions: prefer shutdown (graceful) over destroy (forced) to avoid filesystem corruption. xm and xl require appropriate privileges; tool names vary with Xen versions. If shutdown fails, check Xen and guest logs on dom0 and ensure the guest has ACPI/agent support to accept hypervisor shutdown requests.
