Dear All,
I want to start my application automatically after I start the container with a virsh
command " virsh -c lxc:/// start mycontainer"
How can I achieve this?
Thank you in advance.

Whatever you specify as the <init>....</init> binary in the container
XML file is started when the container is created. If you only want
1 application to run, then this is straightforward. If you want to
run multiple applications either point the "init" binary to a shell
script to run the many things, or better yet use a real init system
like systemd to spawn off the things you need.
Regards,
Daniel

Dear Daniel,
You said "use a real init system like systemd to spawn off the things", do you
mean a full OS distro container?
I installed the container using "yum --installroot=/root/fedora19lxc --releasever=19
install -y openssh, bridge-utils" which is described at
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2013-August/msg00007.html.
I don't know how to make systemd work in my current container. And I don't know
how to install a full OS distro container either. Could you give me more guidance?
With my warmest regards,
Cheng

If you install a modern Fedora distro in a chroot and use that as the
filesystem for the container, then you have a container that uses
systemd for startup. There is nothing special you should ned todo with
system - it ought to "just work" as systemd is designed to easily cope
with running inside a container. For reference see also this:
