[lxc-users] autostart

[Tamas Papp]

hi All,


What lxc-autostart should do?

If I run 'lxc-autostart -a' I see containers from host like this:

 38942 ?        Ss     0:00 lxc-autostart -a
 38999 ?        Ss     0:00  \_ /sbin/init
 39221 ?        S      0:00      \_ upstart-udev-bridge --daemon
 39291 ?        Ss     0:00      \_ /sbin/udevd --daemon
 40327 ?        S      0:00      |   \_ /sbin/udevd --daemon
 39292 ?        Ss     0:00      \_ /usr/sbin/sshd -D
 39316 ?        Sl     0:00      \_ rsyslogd -c5
 39349 ?        S      0:00      \_ upstart-socket-bridge --daemon
 39356 pts/133  Ss+    0:00      \_ /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty4
 39364 pts/124  Ss+    0:00      \_ /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty2
 39370 pts/125  Ss+    0:00      \_ /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty3
 39382 ?        Ss     0:00      \_ cron
 39407 ?        Ss     0:00      \_ /usr/sbin/nrpe -c
/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg -d
 39414 ?        Ssl    0:00      \_ /usr/sbin/nscd
 39435 ?        Ss     0:00      \_ /usr/sbin/munin-node
 39952 ?        Ss     0:00      \_ /usr/lib/postfix/master
 39994 ?        S      0:00      |   \_ pickup -l -t fifo -u -c
 39995 ?        S      0:00      |   \_ qmgr -l -t fifo -u
 40023 ?        S      0:00      \_ /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lf /dev/null -u
snmp -g snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid
 40089 pts/134  Ss+    0:00      \_ /sbin/getty -8 38400 console
 40095 pts/123  Ss+    0:00      \_ /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1

The same with -g:

# lxc-autostart -g
lxc-autostart: option requires an argument -- 'g'

If a group name is specified as an argument, it started. So it looks, it
doesn't list, but starts the containers.
However, not this process list format is quite ugly:

 38942 ?        Ss     0:00 lxc-autostart -a
 38999 ?        Ss     0:00  \_ /sbin/init


$ lxc-autostart -L
or
$ lxc-autostart -L -g <GROUP> returns nothing

Also it seems that containers don't start automatically, if lxc.group is
set.
