Command:

lxc-console

SYNOPSIS

       lxc-console -n name [-t ttynum]

DESCRIPTION

       If  the  tty  service has been configured and is available for the con-
       tainer specified as parameter,  this  command  will  launch  a  console
       allowing to log on the container.

       The  available  tty are free slots taken by this command. That means if
       the container has four ttys available and the command has been launched
       four  times  taking  the  different  tty,  the  fifth command will fail
       because no console will be available.

       The command will connect to a tty. If the connection is lost or broken,
       the  command  can  be launched again and regain the tty at the state it
       was before the disconnection.

OPTIONS

          -t [ttynum]
              Specify the tty number to connect, if not specified a tty number
              will be automatically choosen by the container.
