Well, yes and no. the running option is used to test if the server is running.
if /usr/sbin/vserver xxx running
then
do something
else
do something else
fi
As such, the output is limited and the return code is useful. status on the other
end is not intuitivly testable. It just reports something useful (or not).
So we need both :-)
I just add it. The status option will tell you
if the vserver is running
how many processes running
its uptime (started since ?)
This will be in the next release this week.
Thanks!
