It might be a stupid question, but is that problem caused by the simple
fact that there's no terminal created during vzctl exec -- so everything
that requires a terminal (for example, any ncurses/slang-based
application like top) fails.
Possible solution would be to implement execterm command
The file is on my web server

I noticed that the command did not terminate and had to be killed (I
tried it a number of times with the same result)
the command I used was
vzctl exec 101 strace -f -o /tmp/out apt-get install exim4 -y
