NAME

lxc-execute - run an application inside a container.

SYNOPSIS

lxc-execute -n name [-f config_file] [-s KEY=VAL ] command

DESCRIPTION

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. (that allows 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. So lxc-kill (1) sent signal is received by the user specified command (pid 2 in the container).

OPTIONS

-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.
