lxc-wait - wait for a specific container state
lxc-wait -n name -s states
lxc-wait waits for a specific container state before exiting, this is useful for scripting.
-s, --state states Specify the container state(s) to wait for. The container states can be ORed to specify several states. -t, --timeout timeout Wait timeout seconds for desired state to be reached.
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 /usr/local/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, CRIT, WARN, ERROR, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG. 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.
lxc-wait -n foo -s RUNNING exits when 'RUNNING' is reached. lxc-wait -n foo -s 'RUNNING|STOPPED' exits when 'RUNNING' or 'STOPPED' state is reached.
The container was not found The specified container was not created before with the lxc- create command.
