LXC-MONITOR(1)LXC-MONITOR(1)NAMElxc-monitor - monitor the container state
SYNOPSISlxc-monitor [ -n name ] [ -Q name ]
DESCRIPTIONlxc-monitor monitors the state of containers. The name argument may be
used to specify which containers to monitor. It is a regular expres‐
sion, conforming with posix2, so it is possible to monitor all the con‐
tainers, several of them or just one. If not specified, name will
default to '.*' which will monitor all containers in lxcpath.
The -P, --lxcpath=PATH option may be specified multiple times to moni‐
tor more than one container path. Note however that containers with the
same name in multiple paths will be indistinguishable in the output.
OPTIONS-Q, --quit
Ask the lxc-monitord daemon on each given lxcpath to quit. After
receiving this command, lxc-monitord will exit immediately as
soon as it has no clients instead of waiting the normal 30 sec‐
onds for new clients. This is useful if you need to unmount the
filesystem lxcpath is on.

is an alphanumeric string.
