lxc-start runs the specified
command inside the container
specified by name.
It will setup the container
according to the configuration previously defined with the
lxc-create command or with the configuration file parameter.
If no configuration is
defined, the default isolation is used.
The orphan process group
and daemon are not supported by this command, use
the lxc-execute command instead.
If no command is specified, lxc-start will
use the default
"/sbin/init" command to run a system
container.
OPTIONS
-d, --daemon
Run the container as a daemon. As the container has no
more tty, if an error occurs nothing will be displayed,
the log file can be used to check the error.
-f, --rcfile config_file
Specify the configuration file to configure the virtualization
and isolation functionalities for the container.
This configuration file if present will be used even if there is

Specify a file to output the container console. If the
