NAME
       vzeventd - the OpenVZ events daemon.

SYNOPSIS
       vzeventd [-v] [-d]

       vzeventd -h

DESCRIPTION
       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.

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

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

       -h     Display help and exit.

EXIT STATUS
       Returns 0 upon success.
