vzpkg status

This command is used to check the status of the packages either installed inside a Container or included in an OS EZ template.

Syntax

vzpkg status [ options ] <CT_ID|CT_name|OS_template>

Options

Name	Description
-C, --cache	Makes the `vzpkg status` command look for available updates in the local `vzpkg` cache only. You can omit this parameter if the elapsed time from the last `vzpkg` cache update does not exceed the value of the `METADATA_EXPIRE` parameter specified in the `/etc/vztt/vztt.conf` file.
-r, --remote	If the elapsed time from the last `vzpkg` cache update does not exceed the value of the `METADATA_EXPIRE` parameter specified in the `/etc/vztt/vztt.conf` file, you should use this option to make `vzpkg status` look for the package updates in the remote repositories set for handling the corresponding EZ template.
-d, --debug `<num>`	Sets the debugging level to one of the specified values (from 0 to 10). 10 is the highest debug level and 0 sets the debug level to its minimal value.
-q, --quiet	Disables logging to the screen and to the log file.

When executed, the command performs the following operations:

Checks all the packages installed inside the specified Container or included in the specified OS EZ template.
Checks the repository used to install/update packages inside the Container/OS EZ template.
Compares the packages in the repository with those inside the Container/OS EZ template.
Lists the found packages updates for the Container/OS EZ template, if any, or informs you that the Container/OS EZ template is up-to-date.

Note: The vzpkg status command can be executed for running Containers only.
