Hi Ola,

At first, thanks a lot for the positive response!

I can ask OpenVZ people about current behave of their init script.
Now it's not intuitive for me, but I agree that my proposed change
can be confusing for another OpenVZ users on Debian. So, I like your
idea with a new command for the init script :)

I care about running VEs after `restart`, so I think that the new init
script command should do the same like `restart` now and additionally
`vzctl start VEID` command for all VEs which were running before
`restart` command.

I'm only not quite sure that `ve-restart` is the best name for a new
command. Someone can think that it restarts only running VEs,
but without restarting OpenVZ.

My best regards,

Pawel
