[Lxc-users] Does lxc-stop shut down services gracefully?

[Johannes Graumann]

Hi,

Is using "lxc-stop -n <CONTAINER>" on a host equivalent to running 
"shutdown" within the container, meaning services are put to rest gracefully 
etc?

I'm in the process of scripting backup infrastructure for containers running 
DBs (plone, mysql) and would like to avoid db corruption ...

Thanks for any pointers.

Joh
