lxc-halt

#!/bin/bash
#
# Halts a running container
#
# Triggers a 'halt' in the machine, then waits for the init process to be the
# only one left, then runs lxc-stop. There is a configurable timeout length for
# if containers are taking too long to shutdown.

# Default command for halting the container
SHUTDOWN_CMD="lxc-shutdown -n [container]"

# Default timeout for container shutdown
TIMEOUT=20


# No user configuration beyond this point
