This works for lxc 3 (and lxc 2, as long as you don't have cruft in your config file, test it with: lxc-cgroup -o /dev/stdout -l INFO -n 104 cpuacct.usage -- with 104 a valid lxc instance) Tested on Debian buster and Debian jessie. See the individual files for copyright and installation/configuration information. This is version 1.2 by schaefer@alphanet.ch
