[lxc-users] Error connecting to cgroup manager

Heh, it wasn't a solution, but a debugging tool :)

Let's try something perhaps a wee bit more elegant:  in place of the
sleep, can you add something like

while ! cgm ping 2>&1 > /dev/null; do sleep 1; done

This is where upstart really failed (though it had plans) to
fix things - 'started cgmanager' means cgmanager has started,
but not that it is ready.  Socket activation is a much better
model here.
