[Lxc-users] Restarting LXC containers after power failure

[David Parks]

Oh, that will do nicely.  We'll just write an LXC start/stop script to update the symbolic link on start/stop. That would seem like a great little optional feature to build into lxc-start perhaps, too.

Thanks!
David

There is no such option.
You can enable containers to start automatically at boot time, see /etc/lxc/auto/ .
