"machinectl" ? if the commands were actually sensibly named it would be less bothersome.

You can alias it to whatever you want, but the name is reasonable in context. machinectl is the interface to systemd-machined which is used to manage the host system, containers, and virtual machines in a consistent way.

I've got a bunch of RHEL systems at work and I've just aliased all the -ctl commands.

If you want to open a shell on a container you would run "machinectl shell my-container-1"
