OK, cool. I'm doing the same thing, I just misunderstood your earlier

I took the view that hard-killing (lxc-stop) hung containers was the
Right Thing when the host was trying to shut down, by analogy to how
processes are stopped in a normal system:
Sending HUP to all processes...
[timeout]
Sending KILL to all processes...
cf.
[send PWR to all container inits]
[timeout]
[call lxc-stop on any still-running containers]
Your example of shutting down in response to a UPS freakout is the kind
of thing I was thinking of. YMMV, etc.
