Right. > Did I miss it? Maybe lxc-halt is a missing piece ;-) Is there a simple > way to do it, preventing the need to login to the container and run halt? > It is not possible to simply shutdown / reboot a container from outside. The lxc-halt commands family will be available when the "attach" to a container syscall, will be merged in the kernel upstream (crossing fingers we can have it soon). At present, there is a patchset at http://lxc.sourceforge.net/patches/linux/ providing this capability. And the lxc-attach command is already available. Halting a container should be done by "lxc-attach -n <name> /sbin/halt" and the lxc-halt command should be a trivial wrapper around lxc-attach. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Lxc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-users
