However it is certainly not commonly used leading to questions/doubts like
Micah's. It is also overkill to explicitly say "if and only if" when "if
the vserver is running" is sufficiently clear.

the vserver is running"

The following is sufficient:

"'running' will succeed if the vserver is running"

for the help statement. It would be
sufficient to say "running - succeeds if the vserver is running"

is certainly not common amongst those without a mathematics
background
