NAME¶
lxc-console - Launch a console for the specified container
SYNOPSIS¶
lxc-console -n name [-t ttynum]
DESCRIPTION¶
If the tty service has been configured and is available for the container
specified as parameter, this command will launch a console allowing to log on
the container.
The available tty are free slots taken by this command. That means if the
container has four ttys available and the command has been launched four times
taking the different tty, the fifth command will fail because no console will
be available.
The command will connect to a tty. If the connection is lost or broken, the
command can be launched again and regain the tty at the state it was before
the disconnection.

number will be automatically choosen by the container.
