NAME
lxc-exec - Execute commands in instances
SYNOPSIS
lxc exec [:] [flags] [--]
DESCRIPTION
Description:
Execute commands in instances
The command is executed directly using exec, so there is no shell and
shell patterns (variables, file redirects, ...) won't be understood.
If you need a shell environment you need to execute the shell
executable, passing the shell commands as arguments, for example:
lxc exec <instance> -- sh -c "cd /tmp && pwd"
Mode defaults to non-interactive, interactive mode is selected if both stdin AND stdout are terminals (stderr is ignored).
