[PATCH 4/7] lxc: Improve guest startup error reporting

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add a simple handshake with the lxc_controller process so we can detect
process startup failures. We do this by adding a new --handshake cli arg
to lxc_controller for passing a file descriptor. If the process fails to
launch, we scrape all output from the logfile and report it to the user.
