Starting a container in persistent mode

To start the container in persistent mode, include the -p option at the command line. For example:

1. Log into the TX54 command line as a user with shell access.

Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection

menu. Type shell to access the device shell.

2. At the shell prompt, type:

# lxc test_lxc -p

This will start the container by using /bin/sh -l, which runs the shell and loads the shell profile. The

default shell profile includes an lxc # prompt.

Starting a container by including an executable

You can supply an executable to run when you start the container, along with any parameters. If you

don't supply a parameter, the default behavior is to run the executable by using /bin/sh -l, which runs

the shell and loads the shell profile. This is useful when you use the Clone DAL option when

uploading the container, which includes the devices's system libraries. In this case, the command

without any additional parameters will use the device's shell. See

more information.

For example, to start a container and run a python script called my_python_script.py in the default

shell, type:

# lxc test_lxc /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/my_python_sctipt.py

This will run the script from /usr/bin inside the container. If you have /usr/bin/my_python_script.py on

your device's native system, it will be ignored.
