It is not used +to start or stop ezjails jails. Refer to ezjail(5) for more details. +.SH ezjail-admin create +makes a copy of the ezjail template jail to the standard jail directory, +using either the name specified with the -r option or a name derived from +the given hostname. + +If the jailroot does not start with a /, it is +interpreted relative to ezjails root dir. If the given jailroot lies +outside ezjails root dir, a soft link is created inside ezjails root dir +pointing to the newly created jails location. + +The first step is skipped, if the -x (jail exists) option is given, useful +in situations where you just want to alter some of a jail properties and +called ezjail-admin delete without the -w option before. However, sanity +checks are being performed. + +It then creates an entry in its /etc/ezjail directory allowing the +jail to be brought up after next reboot. + +If the ezjail_mount_enable option is set, a /etc/fstab.hostname is +generated, allowing the basejail to be auto-mounted when the jail starts +up. + +Options for newly created jails are read from ezjail.conf, refer to +ezjail.conf(5) for more information. +.SH ezjail-admin delete +removes a jail from ezjails /etc/ezjail resource directory thus preventing +it from being brought up on next reboot. + +It then removes the /etc/fstab.hostname entry, if it exists. + +If the -w (wipe) option is given, the directory pointed to by the jail +root entry is removed as well as the soft link, if necessary. +.SH ezjail-admin list +lists all jails inside ezjails scope, together with some information on +them. +.SH ezjail-admin update +tries to build and install a FreeBSD system from the source tree either +specified in the ezjail.conf config file or via the -s option. Build +destination is a temporary directory inside ezjails jail root. + +It then fills the basejail from that temporary directory (leaving all +older version installed libraries intact, if it already existed). All +copied directories are removed and replaced by soft links to what later is +mounted into the jail. + +Finally it removes the old template jail and renames the +temporary directory as the new template jail. +.SH FILES +.T4 +/usr/local/etc/ezjail.conf +.br +/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ezjail +.SH "SEE ALSO" +ezjail(5), ezjail.conf(5), jail(8), devfs(5), fdescfs(5), procfs(5) +.SH AUTHOR +Dirk Engling -- cgit v1.2.3
