Hi Flavio,

You could wrap the commands in a shell script (make it executable):

    #!/bin/bash

    xl create vm14.cfg
    xl vncviewer vm14 &

Personally, I prefer that the domU run its own vncserver.  That way I 
can configure it to use the whole screen and then resize it as I see fit 
using regular window controls.  But then again, I have to start the 
viewer manually (alt-f2, then vncviewer domU-hostname:1).
Take a look at tigervnc.

xl create vm.cfg
