Disabling Container
There may appear situations when you wish to forbid Container owners to use their Containers.
For example, it may happen in case the Container owner uses it for unallowed purposes:
intruding into computers of other users, participating in DoS attacks, etc.
In such cases, you can disable a Container, thus, making it impossible to start the Container once
it was stopped. For example, you can execute the following command to disable Container 101
residing on your server:
# pctl set 101 --disabled yes
After the Container stopping, the Container user will not be able to start it again until you enable
this Container again by passing the --disabled no option to pctl set. You can also use
the --force option to start any disabled Container. For example:
# pctl start 101
Container start disabled
# pctl start 101 --force
