I would limit "the problem" to one host so that only containers on the same host would be aware of each another. As you say, it does not have to be a file living inside each container though, sockets etc. would do as well. Actually I am +1 for the file with the PID and +0 for the awareness thingy ... in essence that was just a thought of what might (or not) make sense to have a more "elastic" compound of host + containers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Lxc-devel mailing list Lxc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-devel
