CloudLinux is a Linux based Operating system especially used in a shared environment which isolates each user in its own light weight virtualized environments (LVE) which consumes predefined amount of resources allocated for each user. We already covered some topics on CloudLinux. >> CloudLinux installation <<
The command-line tool for managing CageFS is cagefsctl. Here I’m explaining some important commonly using cagefsctl commandline switches.
The installation path is : /usr/sbin/cagefsctl
