Start an environment

What it does

Bring a stopped environment up: its containers come back over the same directory, at the same address, without rebuilding images. Idempotent. Counts against the cap again. Does not run seed or update; build_environment is the one that applies edits. (formerly start_bundle)

What it needs to know

environment_id

The environment.

confirm · optional

Go ahead although the box or its pool is above 75% memory (a box nearly out of memory is refused regardless) -- only after telling the user and asking.

box · optional

Which box: its name and account, "home.frank" or "jordan.northwind", or just "home" when only one of your boxes is called that. Omit it for your current box (switch_box changes it; list_boxes says which it is).

session_box · optional

The box this session runs on, if it runs on one of yours: its name, as the on-box instructions give it ("frankh90.hemlane"). With it, a call that names no box is checked against your current box.

Where it lands

On one of your boxes: the one named in box, or your default box when none is named.
