The ezjail framework provides a simple way to create many virtual FreeBSD
servers by using FreeBSD's jail system. It requires little administration
effort and aims for minimum system resource usage.

read only into a number of stripped down jails via

.B mount_nullfs(8)
2005-09-20 21:52:57 +00:00
- thus saving lots of inodes and memory resources.

.SH INVOCATION
The ezjail script
.B EZJAIL_PREFIX/etc/rc.d/ezjail.sh
takes parameters
.I start, restart
and
.I stop.
It may be passed an additional list of jails. If no jail name is
specified (usually when the script is being called by rc.local at boot
and shutdown time), all jails in ezjails config directory are being
started/stopped.
The script then examines its config directory, sets config variables
for each jail in the jail_list before passing its command on to the
2005-09-20 21:52:57 +00:00
.B /etc/rc.d/jail
script.
