NAME
       bastille	 convert  -- Convert a jail from thin to thick;	convert	a jail
       to a custom release.

SYNOPSIS
       bastille	[-ayx] TARGET
       bastille	[-ax] TARGET RELEASE

DESCRIPTION
       The bastille sub-command	will convert a thin jail to a  thick  jail  if
       only  the  TARGET  argument is given. If	a TARGET and RELEASE is	speci-
       fied, it	will convert the jail (must be a thick jail) into a custom re-
       lease. 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  re-
		       versible. 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 re-
		       leases directory, and can be used to create jails  with
		       the '--no-validate' flag. See bastille-create(8).

EXAMPLES
       Convert myjail from thin	to thick:
	       bastille	convert	myjail

       Convert myjail from thin	to thick (no prompts):
	       bastille	convert	-ay myjail

       Create myrelease	from myjail:
	       bastille	convert	myjail myrelease
