Reboot or Shutdown in a Container

• Reboot or Shutdown in a Container

Function Description

The reboot and shutdown commands can be executed in a system container. You can run the reboot command to restart a container, and run the shutdown command to stop a container.

Parameter Description

Constraints

• The shutdown function relies on the actual OS of the container running environment.
• When you run the shutdown -h now command to shut down the system, do not open multiple consoles. For example, if you run the isula run -ti command to open a console and run the isula attach command for the container in another host bash, another console is opened. In this case, the shutdown command fails to be executed.

Example

• Specify the --restart on-reboot parameter when starting a container. For example:

  [root@localhost ~]# isula run -tid --restart on-reboot --system-container --external-rootfs /root/myrootfs none init

• In the container, run the reboot command.

  [root@localhost ~]# isula exec -it 10 bash
  [root@localhost /]# reboot
  

  Check whether the container is restarted.

  [root@localhost ~]# isula exec -it 10 ps aux

• In the container, run the shutdown command.

  [root@localhost ~]# isula exec -it 10 bash
  [root@localhost /]# shutdown -h now
  [root@localhost /]# [root@localhost ~]#
  

  Check whether the container is stopped.

  [root@localhost ~]# isula exec -it 10 bash
