lxc-execute(1) lxc-execute(1)
lxc-execute - run an application inside a container.
lxc-execute {-n name} [-d] [-f config_file] [-s KEY=VAL] [-u,
--uid uid] [-g, --gid gid] [-- command]
lxc-execute runs the specified command inside the container
specified by name.
It will setup the container according to the configuration
previously defined with the lxc-create command or with the
configuration file parameter. If no configuration is defined,
the default isolation is used.
This command is mainly used when you want to quickly launch an
application in an isolated environment.
lxc-execute command will run the specified command into the
container via an intermediate process, lxc-init. This lxc-init
after launching the specified command, will wait for its end and
all other reparented processes. (to support daemons in the
container). In other words, in the container, lxc-init has the
pid 1 and the first process of the application has the pid 2.
The above lxc-init is designed to forward received signals to the
started command.
-f, --rcfile config_file
Specify the configuration file to configure the
virtualization and isolation functionalities for the
container.
This configuration file if present will be used even if
there is already a configuration file present in the
previously created container (via lxc-create).
-s, --define KEY=VAL
Assign value VAL to configuration variable KEY. This
overrides any assignment done in config_file.
-d, --daemon
Run the container as a daemon. As the container has no
more tty, if an error occurs nothing will be displayed,
the log file can be used to check the error.
-u, --uid uid
Executes the command with user ID uid inside the
container.
--g, --gid gid
Executes the command with group ID gid inside the
container.
-- Signal the end of options and disables further option
processing. Any arguments after the -- are treated as
arguments to command.
This option is useful when you want specify options to
command and don't want lxc-execute to interpret them.
These options are common to most of lxc commands.
-?, -h, --help
Print a longer usage message than normal.
--usage
Give the usage message
-q, --quiet
mute on
-P, --lxcpath=PATH
Use an alternate container path. The default is
/var/lib/lxc.
-o, --logfile=FILE
Output to an alternate log FILE. The default is no log.
-l, --logpriority=LEVEL
Set log priority to LEVEL. The default log priority is
ERROR. Possible values are : FATAL, ALERT, CRIT, WARN,
ERROR, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE.
Note that this option is setting the priority of the
events log in the alternate log file. It do not have
effect on the ERROR events log on stderr.
-n, --name=NAME
Use container identifier NAME. The container identifier
format is an alphanumeric string.
--rcfile=FILE
Specify the configuration file to configure the
virtualization and isolation functionalities for the
container.
This configuration file if present will be used even if
there is already a configuration file present in the
previously created container (via lxc-create).
--version
Show the version number.
The container is busy
The specified container is already running an application.
You should stop it before reuse this container or create a
new one.
