jailctl

Jailctl is a powerful software tool designed to ease the creation and maintenance of jails in FreeBSD. Originally created to overcome some of the shortcomings of FreeBSD 4.x-series, jailctl has evolved to become a powerful tool that is now fully compatible with FreeBSD 5.x. Even though there are other software packages that can help to manage jails, the developers of jailctl were not satisfied with them and decided to develop their tool instead.

With jailctl, you can easily start and stop jails, create new jails, upgrade existing jails, delete jails, and even back them up and restore them when needed. The software also has a wide range of other features such as displaying jail statuses and process lists per jail. Installation is straightforward, and the install file provides ample instructions for getting started.

New features have been added to this latest release of jailctl, including the ability to specify custom paths for jails, improved configuration files for jails, and updated software documentation. Whether you're looking for a way to manage your jails on FreeBSD, or you're interested in exploring new software tools, jailctl is an excellent choice that's worth checking out.
