NAME

       jailer - jailer is a script for creating jails from Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

       jailer <jailer.conf> <jail identifier>

DESCRIPTION

       jailer is a script for creating chrooted environments for Debian packages.

       Jailer deals only with Debian packages, which should be installed to your Debian system.

WARNING

       Do not configure your daemon inside your jail, because the updatejail script will wipe out
       all the data inside the jail. If you would like to change any settings  inside  the  jail,
       make the changes in the original location and then run updatejail . This makes it possible
       to place a jail even to a ramdisk.

Options

       <jailer.conf>
              The configuration file which contains the settings of the new chrooted environment.

       <jail identifier>
              identifier  which  determines which jail will be created. This identifier has to be
