Warm restart detection broken due to typo in /container/state path

[c-holtermann]

Bug description

The warm restart detection in /etc/cont-init.d/0-container appears to contain a typo in the state directory path.

The script currently checks:

if [ -d /contaner/state ]; then

but the actual state directory used throughout the script is:

/container/state

So the condition should presumably be:

if [ -d /container/state ]; then

Actual behavior

Because /contaner/state normally does not exist, the warm restart branch is never entered.

Instead, the script executes the else branch on every startup:

mkdir -p /container/state
echo "$(date +%s) $(date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z') - Container started" >> /container/state/startup

On my container, /container/state/startup consequently contains multiple Container started entries across restarts, for example:

1787320298 2026-08-21 13:51:38 GMT - Container started
1787320513 2026-08-21 15:55:13 CEST - Container started
1787390790 2026-08-22 11:26:30 CEST - Container started

Expected behavior

If /container/state already exists, the script should detect a warm restart and execute the corresponding cleanup/restart branch:

if [ -d /container/state ]; then
    echo "Detected Container that has been restarted - Cleaning '/container/state' files"
    ...
    echo "$(date +%s) $(date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z') - Warm restart detected" >> /container/state/restart
fi

Suggested fix

Change:

if [ -d /contaner/state ]; then

to:

if [ -d /container/state ]; then

Environment

The issue was observed in an Nfrastack-based FreeScout Docker container. The container uses /init as its entrypoint, which invokes /etc/cont-init.d/0-container.
