]> @LXC_GENERATE_DATE@ lxc-restart 1 IBM lxc-restart restart a container from a file (not implemented yet) lxc-restart -f config_file-s KEY=VAL --statefile=FILE --statefd=FD --name=NAME lxc-restart is a command to restart an application from the state read in the specified FILE, in a container with the identifier NAME. If the option --pause is specified, the application will be stopped after the restart just before resuming execution. The command lxc-unfreeze will be needed to resume its execution. -S, --statefile=FILE read the state of the container in this FILE. This option is exclusive with --statefd below. -d, --statefd=FD read the state of the container in this FD file descriptor. This option is exclusive with above --statefile. -p Pause container processes after restart. The container will be stopped until you resume it with the lxc-unfreeze command. -f, --rcfile=config_file Specify the configuration file to configure the virtualization and isolation functionalities for the container. This parameter should be specified if it was specified for the lxc-execute or lxc-start commands or if the container configuration has to be changed at restart. The latter may fail if the needed resources are not available for the restart. If the container was created and configured with lxc-create, this option is not needed, the configuration will be automatically found. -s KEY=VAL Assign value VAL to configuration variable KEY. This overrides any assignment done in config_file. &commonoptions; To start a new container 123 computing decimals of pi lxc-execute -n 123 -- pi1 -d 500000 lxc-execute --name=123 -- pi1 -d 500000 to checkpoint the same container in dump-death mode lxc-checkpoint -n 123 -S /share/123/chkpt1 -k lxc-checkpoint --name=123 --statefile=/share/123/chkpt1 -k and to restart the same container with a different id lxc-restart -n 200 -S /share/123/chkpt1 lxc-restart --name=200 --statefile=/share/123/chkpt1 Actually, this command does not operate. Its description helps to define a CLI api for future Checkpoint / Restart solution &seealso; Daniel Lezcano daniel.lezcano@free.fr
