lxc.exec1

Usage

Overview

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).
