[Bug 1266808] Re: No mechanism to wait until a started container is ready and has finished booting

[Stéphane Graber]

This was discussed a few times upstream.

The suggested implementation is to have lxc-start create and bind /dev/lxc in the container as a standard unix socket.
A simple text based protocol would then be built on top of this including support for switching to a new "ready" state.

The idea is that an init script in the container could then do: echo
"state ready" | nc -U /dev/lxc


However this never got implemented and isn't on the roadmap for now, so if you need this feature, patches implementing the suggestion above are definitely welcome.
