[libvirt-users] Reg: shutdown/restart from within the container(system LXC)
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 On Fri, Oct 7, 2011 at 5:06 AM, Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>wrote:
