COMMANDS

start [--rescue [--rescue-init] program args]
Starts the specified vserver. The optional argument --rescue starts the vserver in rescue mode, which runs program args* to start the vserver instead of whatever is configured. The optional argument --rescue-init makes the command appear as PID 1 in the vserver. This can be used to start /bin/bash to investigate why a vserver is not able to start correctly.
stop [--rescue-init]
Stops the specified vserver, and kills the remaining processes. The optional argument --rescue-init can be used to stop a vserver that was started with the option of the same name.
restart
Restarts the specified vserver. This is the subsequent execution of a synchronized 'stop' and a 'start'.
condrestart
Restarts a running vserver.
suexec user program args*
Executes program args* as the specified user in the vserver.
exec program args*
Executes program args* as the root user in the vserver.
enter
Executes the configured shell (default: /bin/bash if it exists) in the vserver and allocates a pty.
chkconfig chkconfig-options*
Modifies the init-system; currently, only Red Hat's chkconfig is supported.
running
Returns an exit code of 0 iff the vserver is running, 1 if not.
status
Provides some human readable status information about the vserver, and succeeds iff the vserver is running.
build buildopts*
Create a vserver from scratch, where the buildopts* are a set of options and a build method. As this option calls vserver-build, please see vserver-build(8) for a complete listing of possible options and methods.
delete

unify [-R] [vunify-opts*]
Unify or de-unify the vserver with its reference vserver(s).

pkgmgmt externalize|internalize [-y]
