The former is a short hand for the latter and is already widely used in the docs. Using the short hand avoids incompatibility with the alternate impl of rst2html5. Reviewed-by: Erik Skultety <eskultet@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>

SYNOPSIS
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
``virt-login-shell`` [*OPTION*]
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The ``virt-login-shell`` program is a setuid shell that is used to join
|
|
an LXC container that matches the user's name. If the container is not
|
|
running, ``virt-login-shell`` will attempt to start the container.
|
|
``virt-login-shell`` is not allowed to be run by root. Normal users will get
|
|
added to a container that matches their username, if it exists, and they are
|
|
configured in ``/etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf``.
|
|
|
|
The basic structure of most ``virt-login-shell`` usage is:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
virt-login-shell
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
``-c CMD``
|
|
|
|
Instruct the shell to run CMD instead of presenting an
|
|
interactive shell prompt.
|
|
|
|
``-h``, ``--help``
|
|
|
|
Display command line help usage then exit.
|
|
|
|
``-V``, ``--version``
|
|
|
|
Display version information then exit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIG
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
By default, ``virt-login-shell`` will execute the ``/bin/sh`` program for
|
|
the user. You can modify this behaviour by defining the shell variable in
|
|
``/etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf``. e.g.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
shell = [ "/bin/bash" ]
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the ``auto_shell`` config option is set then it will attempt to automatically
|
|
detect the shell from ``/etc/password`` inside the container. This should only
|
|
be done if the container has a separate ``/etc`` directory from the host,
|
|
otherwise it will end up recursively invoking ``virt-login-shell``. e.g.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
auto_shell = 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default no users are allowed to use virt-login-shell, if you want to allow
|
|
certain users to use virt-login-shell, you need to modify the allowed_users
|
|
variable in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf. e.g.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
allowed_users = [ "tom", "dick", "harry" ]
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXIT STATUS
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
``virt-login-shell`` normally returns the exit status of the command it
|
|
executed. If the command was killed by a signal, but that signal is not
|
|
fatal to virt-login-shell, then it returns the signal number plus 128.
|
|
|
|
Exit status generated by ``virt-login-shell`` itself:
|
|
|
|
* ``0`` An option was used to learn more about this binary.
|
|
|
|
* ``125`` Generic error before attempting execution of the configured shell; for example, if libvirtd is not running.
|
|
|
|
* ``126`` The configured shell exists but could not be executed.
|
|
|
|
* ``127`` The configured shell could not be found.
