1. Select a device in Remote Manager that is configured to allow shell access to the admin user,

and click Actions> Open Console. Alternatively, log into the IX20 local command line as a user

with shell access.

menu. Type shell to access the device shell.

2. At the shell prompt, type:

# lxc test_lxc -p

lxc #

This will start the container by using /bin/sh -l, which runsthe shell and loadsthe 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 loadsthe shell profile. Thisis useful when you use the Clone DALoption when

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

without any additional parameters will use the device'sshell. See Upload a new LXCcontainer for

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 nativesystem, it will be ignored.
