Ok... this can't work. lxc-execute is for application containers only:
it runs lxc-init instead of standard /sbin/init. The networking script
you invoke needs upstart to be already running in the container... You
seem to have a system container here, it _MUST_ be started with
lxc-start.

What's your true need here ? Controlling the containers network services
from the host or just knowing the addresses used by the containers ? I
guess both are doable in a variety of ways.
