Try:

* lxc-attach -n container_name -- ps -efa
all pids are relative inside the container, different from the one on the host

* ps -eo pidns,cgroup:50,pid,user,args --sort pidns
this will show additional column, pidns and cgroups
process on the host and the container will have different pidns, and
cgroups column should include the name of the container among other
things.
