In you implementation you should use this syntax anytime, because of 
logging design
There are 3 logging levels
-1 - error
 0 - info (default)
 > 0 - debug
thus vzctl start do print all info messages on VE start due to start 
stages 1) VE creation 2) VE setup
and you see so called 'noise' messages

If you will setup VERBOSE=0, LOG_LEVEL=1 then any VE setup command 
(vzctl set VEID) will display nothing.
because of noise messages.
