If a TARGET and RELEASE is specified, it will convert the jail (must be a thick jail) into a custom release. The jail will remain intact, and you will have a duplicate of it to use a a release base for any new jails. bastille convert [-ayx] TARGET -a, --auto Auto mode. Start/stop jail(s) if required. -y, --yes Do not prompt. Assume always yes. -x, --debug Enable debug mode. Converting a thin jail to a thick jail is not reversible. You will be be prompted to accept this action if [-y|--yes] is not specified. bastille convert [-ayx] TARGET RELEASE -a, --auto Auto mode. Start/stop jail(s) if requried. -x, --debug Enable debug mode. A release created by this method is stored in the releases directory, and can be used to create jails with the '--no- validate' flag. See bastille-create(8).
