vzeventd(8)

vzeventd8

The openvz events daemon.

Usage

vzeventd [-v] [-d]

vzeventd -h

Overview

This daemon takes care of events sent by the OpenVZ kernel (via a netlink socket) and performs required actions associated with those events, by running specific scripts. Every event received contains an event name and a container ID.

For every known event, the event script /usr/lib/vzctl/vzctl/scripts/vzevent-event_name is executed, with container ID being passed to the script as VEID environment variable. Not-existent events scripts are ignored. All unknown events are ignored but logged.

The following events are recognized:

• start
• stop
• mount
• umount
• reboot

The following event scripts are provided:

vzevent-stop

Takes care of removing ARP and routing records for the given CT from CT0.

vzevent-reboot

Takes care of rebooting a given CT.

Options

-v

-d
