[Lxc-users] virt-install --connect lxc:/// fails in script, works in interactive shell

[Sean Carolan]

Basically just what the subject said.  When I run this directly from a
root shell it works splendidly, the container spins up immediately and
I can use it right away.

virt-install --connect lxc:/// --name node3 --ram 512 --vcpu 1
--filesystem /containers/node3/,/ --network bridge:br0 --noautoconsole


When my script runs the same command (as root), I get the below output
and a non-functional VM.  Anyone have an idea what's going on here?
Is there some hidden environment variable that lxc needs to set up
properly?
