vzeventd(8) Containers vzeventd(8)

vzeventd - the OpenVZ events daemon.

vzeventd [-v] [-d]
vzeventd -h

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 a container ID, which is passed to the script as VEID environment variable.

Current list of known events and associated vzeventd actions are:

start
Ignore.
stop
Run /usr/lib/vzctl/scripts/vzevent-stop. This script takes care of removing ARP and routing records for the given CT from CT0.
mount
Ignore.
umount
Ignore.
reboot
Run /usr/lib/vzctl/scripts/vzevent-reboot. This script takes care of rebooting a given CT.

-v
Increase verbosity (can be used multiple times).
-d
Debug mode (do not daemonize, run in foreground).
-h
Display help and exit.

Returns 0 upon success.
