Restarting Containers

You can restart Containers from the inside using typical Linux commands, e.g., reboot or shutdown -r. Restarting is handled by the vzeventd daemon.

If necessary, you can forbid restarting Containers from the inside as follows:

• To disable restarting for a specific Container, add the ALLOWREBOOT="no" line to the Container configuration file (/etc/vz/conf/<CT_ID>.conf).
• To disable restarting globally for all Containers on the server, add the ALLOWREBOOT="no" line to the global configuration file (/etc/vz/vz.conf).
• To disable restarting globally except for specific Containers, add the ALLOWREBOOT="no" line to the global configuration file (/etc/vz/vz.conf) and explicitly specify ALLOWREBOOT="yes" in the configuration files of the respective Containers.
