I have developped a utility called goctl. It works like systemctl, allowing
you to start systemd standard services and targets.

When I start a vserver, I run the /etc/rc.d/rc script which contains this

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = 6 ] ; then
        goctl stop default.target
        killall systemd-journald
else
        nohup /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald &
        goctl start default.target
fi


The source for this utility is located at
http://svn.solucorp.qc.ca/repos/solucorp/go/trunk. I can provide you with a
RPM compatible with centos7 if you want to give it a shot. Just email me.

I have been using linux-vserver on my machines for over 10 years, rock solid and I don't know what I would do without it!

That being said, I am at a point now where I have requirements where I absolutely need to have some Centos7 guests.  I understand it still cant be installed as a linux-vserver guest because util-vserver doesnt work with systemd yet.

Centos5 "end of life" is less than a year away, glibc in Centos6  (eol in 2020) is already too old for many current applications, so Centos7 support i would think is going to have to be inevitable.  I have had to resort to buying a separate machine to install Centos7 standalone.  I am sure there are a ton of happy linux-vserver users in the same boat, and as time goes on and distros use systemd it is going to become even more urgent, else linux-vserver will be left by the wayside.

So please, please make it a priority to be able to install a Centos7 guest!
