NAME

       lxc-start - run an application inside a container.

SYNOPSIS

       lxc-start {-n name} [-f config_file] [-c console_device] [-L
                 console_logfile] [-d] [-p pid_file] [-s KEY=VAL] [-C]
                 [command]

DESCRIPTION

       lxc-start  runs the specified command inside the container specified by
       name.

       It will setup the container according to the  configuration  previously
       defined  with  the  lxc-create  command  or with the configuration file
       parameter.  If no configuration is defined, the  default  isolation  is
       used.

       If no command is specified, lxc-start will use the default "/sbin/init"
       command to run a system container.

OPTIONS

       -d, --daemon
              Run the container as a daemon. As the container has no more tty,
              if  an  error occurs nothing will be displayed, the log file can
              be used to check the error.

       -p, --pidfile pid_file
              Create a file with the process id.

       -f, --rcfile config_file
              Specify the configuration file to configure  the  virtualization
              and isolation functionalities for the container.

              This configuration file if present will be used even if there is
              already a configuration file present in the  previously  created
              container (via lxc-create).

       -c, --console console_device
              Specify a device to use for the container's console, for example
              /dev/tty8. If this option is not specified the current  terminal
              will be used unless -d is specified.

       -L, --console-log console_logfile
              Specify a file to log the container's console output to.

       -s, --define KEY=VAL
              Assign  value  VAL to configuration variable KEY. This overrides
              any assignment done in config_file.

       -C, --close-all-fds
              If any file descriptors  are  inherited,  close  them.  If  this
              option  is  not specified, then lxc-start will exit with failure
              instead. Note: --daemon implies --close-all-fds.

COMMON OPTIONS

       These options are common to most of lxc commands.

       -?, -h, --help
              Print a longer usage message than normal.

       --usage
              Give the usage message

       -q, --quiet
              mute on

       -P, --lxcpath=PATH
              Use an alternate container path. The default is /var/lib/lxc.

       -o, --logfile=FILE
              Output to an alternate log FILE. The default is no log.

       -l, --logpriority=LEVEL
              Set log priority to LEVEL. The default log  priority  is  ERROR.
              Possible  values  are  : FATAL, CRIT, WARN, ERROR, NOTICE, INFO,
              DEBUG.

              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.

       -n, --name=NAME
              Use container identifier NAME.  The container identifier  format
              is an alphanumeric string.

DIAGNOSTIC

       The container is busy
              The  specified  container is already running an application. You
              should stop it before reuse this container or create a new one.
