NAME
       vzeventd - the OpenVZ events daemon.

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

OPTIONS
       -v  Increase verbosity (can be used multiple times).

       -d  Debug mode (do not daemonize, run in foreground).

       -h  Display help and exit.

DESCRIPTION
       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.

RETURN CODE
       Returns 0 upon success.
