Hi,
Is it possible to shutdown/restart a system LXC from within the
container?
From what I have observed(Version - 0.8.4):
* The libvirt_lxc manager process, which listens on the /dev/pts for
console connection loops
infinitely.
Let me know If I am missing out something obvious or there exists any
other way to
shutdown/restart system LXC from within.
Any pointers in this regard would be useful.
Thanks,
Alphonse

This is a flaw in that version of libvirt. If you upgrade to the
current libvirt it'll work much more reliably.

Hi Daniel,
I checked the latest version (0.9.6) and observed the following from the
code.
* So If a shutdown is issued from the within the container and
only if that init process within the container terminates,
the function "lxcPidGone()" in lxcController, takes care of exiting from
the while loop.
Please let me know, if my understanding is correct.
Thanks,
Alphonse
