[lxc-users] Marking running containers as emphermial

lxc-ls with various arguments can show you container states or only list 
containers in certain states. Alternatively lxc-wait can wait for 
container to stop, but I'd add couple of seconds delay after it returns 
because I have had problems with it in the past otherwise. I don't know 
why lxc-destroy hangs for you, but I'd avoid calling it from other hooks 
to avoid deadlocks, and use cron/at jobs instead.
