Re: [libvirt] What is the robust/recommended way to retrieve the PID of a VM's init process ?

This is great, it solves my initial problem quite nicely, and I have given up on using my own tool :-) Maybe I can describe my needs a little bit more Typically I need to run ‘make’ in the guest as part of its ‘preparation’ before I hand it over to users Unfortunately not all guests have the ‘make’ binary at the same location - esp. with the recent usrmove business… Actually what I am doing right now is to let bash handle that with virsh lxc-enter-namespace container /bin/bash -c “make -C /build” which fits my needs to not have to decide where make might sit This seems to work fine, although I am not sure to have covered all the corner cases yet --- This being said, this is fine as long as I use that in scripts, but having to do this in everyday life would be a hassle I am not sure that I see any good reason not to just call ‘execvp’ instead of ‘execv’ in cmdLxcEnterNamespace It is true that the PATH as set in the host might not be the best setting for the guest, but it could serve as a decent approximation for a daily usage This change would have been welcome during my very first attempt :-)
