`start`	Starts a Container.
`stop`	Stops a Container.
`restart`	Restarts a Container.
`status`	Displays the Container status.

`exec` `exec2`	Runs arbitrary commands in a Container without logging in to it.
`recover` `reinstall`	Recovers the original state of the Container system and application files.
`quotaon`	Turns the disk quota on for a Container.
`quotaoff`	Turns the disk quota off for a Container.
`quotainit`	Initializes the disk quota for a Container with the parameters taken from the Container configuration file.

Verbosity options can be used with any of the above commands:

`--verbose`	Sets the log level to its maximum possible value.
`--quiet`	Disables logging to the screen and to the log file.
