Same as "vserver name exec /bin/sh\". .TP \fBexec\fR Exec a command in the virtual server context as root. syntax: vserver name exec command ... .TP \fBsuexec\fR Exec a command in the virtual server context under some user id. syntax: vserver name suexec userid command ... .TP \fBservice\fR Control a service inside a vserver. syntax: vserver name service service\-name (start/stop/restart etc.) .TP \fBstart\fR Starts the various services in the vserver. It uses the default runlevel found in the .B /etc/inittab file of the vserver. .TP \fBstop\fR Ends all services and kills the remaining processes. .TP \fBrunning\fR Tells if a virtual server is running. It returns proper exit code, so you can use it as a test. .TP \fBstatus\fR Tells various information about the state of a virtual server: running status, number of running processes and uptime. .TP .I --nodev do not configure the IP devices associated with the vserver. This is useful to execute some commands on the vserver (or enter it) without making it active on the network. Especially useful if you have an active copy of the vserver moved to another server on the network. .TP .I --silent cuts most informative messages. .SH "FILES" .LP \fI/usr/sbin/vserver\fP .P \fI/etc/vservers/*.conf\fP .P \fI/etc/vservers/*.sh\fP .P \fI/vservers/*\fP .SH "EXAMPLES" .LP Please contribute some, if you feel it's important. .SH "AUTHORS" .LP This Man page was written by Klavs Klavsen and based upon the helpful output from the program itself and the documentation on the Virtual Server site .SH "SEE ALSO" .LP chbind(8) chcontext(8) newvserver(8) rebootmgr(8) reducecap(8) vps(8) vpstree(8) vrpm(8) vserver\-stat(8) vtop(8)
