NAME
lxc-freeze - freeze all the container's processes

SYNOPSIS
\FClxc-freeze\F[]

DESCRIPTION
lxc-freeze freezes all the processes running inside the container. The processes will be blocked until they are explicitly thawed by the lxc-unfreeze command. This command is useful for batch managers to schedule a group of processes.
