The lxc.console=$(tty) thing was something I was thinking about. There are a couple of things I've noticed and was pondering how to fix; 1) The expectation I have from xen, kvm etc is that you can detach from the console like lxc-console allows. i.e. lxc-start -C -n test behaves like lxc-start -n test ; lxc-console - at the moment you have an interactive foreground process. 2) If you have a getty on the console, when you start without -s lxc.console=$(tty) it puts the system messages and the getty on the host system console. That gets confusing when logging in on a lights out console. Was this what lxcd was for? Should it be that lxc-start always goes into the background, and holds onto the console, which you can connect to via lxcd by specifying a flag to lxc-console? lxc-start -s lxc.console gets replaced by lxc-start -C which is equivalent to lxc-start ; lxc-console Happy to devote some time to fixing this...
