Execute a command in all running OpenVZ Containers

If you wish to execute a command in all running Containers, you can use the following script:
[codesyntax lang="bash"]

for i in `cat /proc/vz/veinfo | awk '{print $1}'|egrep -v '^0$'`; \

do echo "Container $i"; vzctl exec $i <command>; done

[/codesyntax]

where <command> is the command to be executed in all the running Containers. For example:

[codesyntax lang="bash"]
for i in `cat /proc/vz/veinfo | awk '{print $1}'|egrep -v '^0$'`; \

do echo "Container $i"; vzctl exec $i uptime; done
[/codesyntax]
