Container-shutdown event not raised after executing halt in container

LXD
1

I’m trying to detect when my containers shutdown. I’m listening on /1.0/events?type=lifecycle websocket, and I can detect when the container closes by executing lxc stop c, but not when I shutdown it manually by lxc exec c halt.

Not working again in 5.0, i get instance-shutdown event on manually stopping instance using lxc stop, but not using halt from inside instance

Can you show reproducer steps please.

I’ve assigned it to myself now to take a look and see if i can reproduce.

Thanks for chasing, I’m sorry that we missed this one.

I’ve got a fix and it should be in LXD 5.8 and then later in LXD 5.0.2.
