NAME

6       lxc-monitor - monitor the container state
7

SYNOPSIS

9       lxc-monitor [-n name] [-Q name]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       lxc-monitor  monitors the state of containers. The name argument may be
13       used to specify which containers to monitor. It is  a  regular  expres‐
14       sion, conforming with posix2, so it is possible to monitor all the con‐
15       tainers, several of them or just one. If not specified, name  will  de‐
16       fault to '.*' which will monitor all containers in lxcpath.
17
18       The  -P, --lxcpath=PATH option may be specified multiple times to moni‐
19       tor more than one container path. Note however that containers with the
20       same name in multiple paths will be indistinguishable in the output.
21

OPTIONS

23       -Q, --quit
24              Ask the lxc-monitord daemon on each given lxcpath to quit. After
25              receiving this command, lxc-monitord will  exit  immediately  as
26              soon  as it has no clients instead of waiting the normal 30 sec‐
27              onds for new clients. This is useful if you need to unmount  the
28              filesystem lxcpath is on.
29
