'''This article describes using OpenVZ tool vzctl as an alternative to LXC tools.'''
Since [[Download/vzctl/4.0|version 4.0]], vzctl tool can be used with upstream (non-OpenVZ) Linux kernels (that essentially means any recent 3.x kernel). At the moment, it provides just basic functionality.

The following binaries are not ported to work on top of upstream kernel:
