]> @LXC_GENERATE_DATE@ lxc-checkpoint 1 IBM lxc-checkpoint checkpoint a running container (not implemented yet) lxc-checkpoint --statefile=FILE --statefd=FD --name=NAME -k|-p lxc-checkpoint is a command to checkpoint the specified container NAME and dumps its state into the file FILE. If the option --kill is specified, the application running in the container will terminate after the checkpoint just before resuming its execution. If the option --pause is specified, the application will be stopped after the checkpoint just before resuming execution. The command lxc-unfreeze will resume its execution. -S, --statefile=FILE write the state of the container in this FILE. This option is exclusive with --statefd below. -d, --statefd=FD write the state of the container in this FD file descriptor. This option is exclusive with above --statefile. -k,--kill Kill container processes after checkpoint. the processes are sent a SIGKILL signal. This option is mutually exclusive with the following --pause option. -p,--pause Pause container processes after checkpoint. The container will be stopped until you resume it. This option is mutually exclusive with previously mentionned --kill option. &commonoptions; To start a new container 123 computing decimals of pi lxc-execute -n 123 -- pi1 -d 500000 lxc-execute --name=123 -- pi1 -d 500000 to checkpoint the same container in dump-death mode lxc-checkpoint -n 123 -S /share/123/chkpt1 -k lxc-checkpoint --name=123 -S /share/123/chkpt1 -k to checkpoint the same container and pause it lxc-checkpoint -n 123 -S /share/123/chkpt1 -p lxc-checkpoint --name=123 -S /share/123/chkpt1 -p Actually, this command does not operate. Its description helps to define a CLI api for future Checkpoint / Restart solution &seealso; Daniel Lezcano daniel.lezcano@free.fr
