thanks Vish,
I tried euca-reboot-instances to do this,but it tell me "no such intsance", like i have terminated it;

let me describe my problems:
1. can the instance which has been terminated be reboot again?
2. when the host pc is turned off and restart again, i found the instance which is runnning before has turned to 'shutdown' status. I can't use euca-reboot-instances to start this instance, which tell me no such instance;
3. I found Amazon EC2 has the ec2-start-instances and ec2-stop-instances cli commands. Openstack have not. Are these two commands can been done in euca-reboot-instances?

thank you!

It should only say no such instance if the instance doesn't exist in the database. Not sure what could be going on here.

Same problem here.
I created a new instance, which was booting fine. After a 'euca-terminate-instance' the instance was flagged as 'shutdown' in the database. Euca-reboot-instance then gave me a 'InstanceNotFound: Instance i-000000bc not found'.
Is this a bug?
