[Lxc-users] lxc-attach command options

[Goran Cetusic]

I tried it without the quotes first, but lxc-attach thinks -i is an option
for lxc-attach not the command I'm trying to execute.


Usage: lxc-attach --name=NAME

Execute the specified command - enter the container NAME

Options :
  -n, --name=NAME   NAME for name of the container

Common options :
  -o, --logfile=FILE               Output log to FILE instead of stderr
  -l, --logpriority=LEVEL          Set log priority to LEVEL
  -q, --quiet                      Don't produce any output
  -?, --help                       Give this help list
      --usage                      Give a short usage message

Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or
optional
for any corresponding short options.

See the lxc-attach man page for further information.
