[Users] Capturing the PID of every VE during startup / shutdown.

[Thorsten Schifferdecker]

Hi Daniel,

a simple solution can be, take a look to /proc of running contaier from
ct0.

 <path-to-ct-root>/proc/1/stat

e.g.

$ awk '{ print $1 }' /var/lib/vz/root/20123/proc/1/stat
28858
^_real pid at ct0

Hope this helps.

Bye,
 Thorsten
