Usage

envc

Environment Control.

Usage:

   envc <command> [command-options]

Commands:

   start [vmid]

       Starts the virtual machine specified by the ID, or the entire environment, if vmid is not specified.
       When the entire environment is started, the startup sequence is phased: the dependencies are started
       first, and the dependents are started after their dependencies.

   stop [vmid]

       Stops (shuts down) the virtual machine specified by the ID, or the entire environment, if vmid is not
       specified. When the entire environment is stopped, the shutdown sequence is phased: the dependents are
       stopped first, and the dependencies are stopped after their dependents.

   status [vmid]

   snapshot <snapshot_tag> [vmid]

   list-snapshots [vmid]

   restore <snapshot_tag> [vmid]

   remove-snapshot <snapshot_tag> [vmid]
