NameDescription

<CT_name>

Container name.

When executed, prlctl delete physically removes all the files located in the container private area (specified as the VE_PRIVATE variable in the container configuration file) and renames the container configuration file in /etc/vz/conf from <CT_name>.conf to <CT_name>.conf.destroyed. It also renames container action scripts, if any, in a similar manner.

Note

Note: A container must be stopped before its private area can be unmounted.
