'lxc-wait' command returns error code immediate if container is stopped

[aston-r]

Hi,

$subj

[$]> lxc-start --version                                                                                                                     
2.1.1

STR:
-stop container
-run lxc-wait -n <container name> --state=RUNNING

Here is an example

[#]> lxc-info -sn container1
State:          STOPPED
[$]> lxc-wait -n container1 --state=RUNNING --timeout=600
[$]> echo $?
1

The issue is not reproducible on lxc-2.0.X. Also 'lxc-wait' command works for other statuses if the container is started. Please advice.

Right, this is an issue caused by the deprecation of the lxc-monitord binary which would've simply caused this to block. I was waiting for someone to bring this up and whether we need to think about a solution to this. So one way to deal with this for now is essentially to use lxc-monitor which will block. But it will report the states for all containers under a given path.
