libvirt users - Oct 2011 - Reg: shutdown/restart from within the container(system LXC)

Hi,

   Is it possible to shutdown/restart a system LXC from within the
container?

   From what I have observed(Version - 0.8.4):
   * The libvirt_lxc manager process, which listens on the /dev/pts for
console connection loops
      infinitely.

   Let me know If I am missing out something obvious or there exists any
other way to
   shutdown/restart system LXC from within.

   Any pointers in this regard would be useful.

Thanks,
Alphonse

This is a flaw in that version of libvirt. If you upgrade to the
current libvirt it'll work much more reliably.
