[Lxc-users] Piping output of lxc-monitor to a file without buffering

[Ken Elkabany]

Hi,

The following outputs container state changes to the terminal as expected:

$ lxc-monitor -n container-1

However, the following outputs the same state changes to a file only after
a certain buffer size has been reached:

$ lxc-monitor -n container-1 &> output

This is problematic because it means that live monitoring cannot be done by
a separate program. The buffering delays messages, potentially indefinitely.

Is there a way around this? Alternatively, is there another way of getting
callbacks or triggers when a container changes state? I was surprised that
lxc-wait was simply a bash script that polled lxc-info every second, which
in my use case is insufficient.

Best,
Ken
