Starting a virtual server
You can start a virtual server with the following command:

Where <name> is the name of the virtual server.
Coming into a virtual server
To enter into a virtual server execute this command:
# vserver <name> enter
To exit from a virtual server
To exit from a virtual server you only need to finish the Shell. For example typing:

In this way you can finish the virtual server Shell.
Stoping a virtual server
The following command will do that:
# vserver <name> stop
Showing what virtual server are running and some information
run this command:
$ vserver-stat
Copying a virtual server and changing its address IP
# vserver-copy --stopstart --ip newIP --domain newDomain nameOldServer nameNewServer
where:
-s,--stopstart: stops the virtual server before copying and start the new vserver afterwards. This really only makes sense if you are copying across root hosts and not changing names or IP addresses. -i,--ip address: the new IP address when changing name. Overwrites /etc/hosts. Must be used with -d -d,--domain domain: the new DNS domain when changing name. Overwrites /etc/hosts. Must be used with -i
You can see more information in "man vserver-copy"
