When you created a system container, you should start it with lxc-start.

lxc-execute is used for application container where a process reaper is 
inserted between lxc-execute and your application. This is why your 
application has the pid 2. I think there is a problem with an 
application container using a rootfs and the console and this is 
certainly a bug but in your case I think you should you just use 
'lxc-start'.
