Direct Access

[Nathan H]

At the moment we do have full root shell access to our stored VPS, however when we start a reboot it is impossible to know when it is finished, unless we put in an extra boot script but i'd rather not touch that. is there anyway to have direct access so we see all messages from the server, including startup prompts?

Thing is it doesn't start all the processes. The thing with OpenVZ is it shares them with the host server, in this case vox.

Your VPS dosn't have it's own kernel either, it's shared.

ahhhh, so its not a true virtual server like the one vmware would create. Though that makes it slightly confusng as to why it takes so long to properly reboot the server?

I did some tests on mine, takes under one minute.

It must of been a problem with how i used to have it set up, it's doing it under a simliar time scale now, im gonna close this since the original issue/suggestion is no longer valid
