NAME

vzeventd − the OpenVZ events daemon.

SYNOPSIS

	vzeventd		[−v] [−d]

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 an event name and a container ID.

For every known event, the event script /usr/libexec/vzctl/scripts/vzevent-event_name is executed, with container ID being passed to the script as VEID environment variable. Not-existent events scripts are ignored. All unknown events are ignored but logged.
The following events are recognized:

• start
• stop
• mount
• umount
• reboot

The following event scripts are provided:
vzevent-stop
