NAME

vzeventd − the OpenVZ events daemon.

SYNOPSIS

	vzeventd		[−v] [−d]
	vzeventd		−h

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 a container ID, which is passed to the script as VEID environment variable.

Current list of known events and associated vzeventd actions are:

	start		Ignore.
	stop		Run /usr/libexec/vzctl/scripts/vzevent-stop. This script takes care of removing ARP and routing records for the given CT from CT0.
	mount		Ignore.
	umount		Ignore.
	reboot		Run /usr/libexec/vzctl/scripts/vzevent-reboot. This script takes care of rebooting a given CT.

OPTIONS

	−v		Increase verbosity (can be used multiple times).
	−d		Debug mode (do not daemonize, run in foreground).
	-h		Display help and exit.

EXIT STATUS

Returns 0 upon success.
