PMS must be in the stopped state in order to operate on the database files.
#### Stopping / Starting in Containers (Special Considerations)
Stopping/starting PMS in containers depends on the container execution control mechanism
Some images are designed with an "Always Running" philosophy and do not allow the tool to stop/
start PMS while under program control.
In these image types, the only mechanism, subject to time constraints of any health check,
is to type: kill -15 $(pidof 'Plex Media Server')
at the container command line prior to invoking DBRepair.sh and waiting for PMS to shutdown.
After DB tasks are completed, and you've exited the container, restart it normally through
your normal 'docker start' mechanism.
### Undo
Undo allows you to "Undo" the last Import, Repair, Replace, or Vacuum command.
