[libvirt-users] Reg: shutdown/restart from within the container(system LXC)

[Alphonse Hansel Anthony]

Hi Daniel,
   I checked the latest version (0.9.6) and observed the following from the
code.

  * So If a shutdown is issued from the within the container and
    only if that init process within the container terminates,
    the function "lxcPidGone()" in lxcController, takes care of exiting from
the while loop.

  Please let me know, if my understanding is correct.

Thanks,
Alphonse
