lxc-wait (1)

lxc-wait \kx {-n name} {-s states}

lxc-wait waits for a specific container state before exiting, this is useful for scripting.

\*(T<-s \*(T>states

Specify the container state(s) to wait for. The container states can be ORed to specify several states.

\*(T<-t \*(T>timeout

Wait timeout seconds for desired state to be reached.

These options are common to most of lxc commands.

\*(T<-?, -h, --help\*(T>

Print a longer usage message than normal.

\*(T<--usage\*(T>

Give the usage message

\*(T<-q, --quiet\*(T>

mute on

\*(T<-P, --lxcpath=\*(T>PATH

Use an alternate container path. The default is /var/lib/lxc.

\*(T<-o, --logfile=\*(T>FILE

Output to an alternate log FILE. The default is no log.

\*(T<-l, --logpriority=\*(T>LEVEL

Set log priority to LEVEL. The default log priority is \*(T<ERROR\*(T>. Possible values are : \*(T<FATAL\*(T>, \*(T<CRIT\*(T>, \*(T<WARN\*(T>, \*(T<ERROR\*(T>, \*(T<NOTICE\*(T>, \*(T<INFO\*(T>, \*(T<DEBUG\*(T>.

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.

\*(T<-n, --name=\*(T>NAME

Use container identifier NAME. The container identifier format is an alphanumeric string.

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.
