vzeventd(8) Containers vzeventd(8)

vzeventd - the OpenVZ events daemon.

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

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

This daemon takes care of events sent by the OpenVZ kernel (via 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.

Returns 0 upon success.
