 Another thing to look out for is anything expecting to run for system maintenance

+## Mapping from docker cli to crictl

+
+Warn: the output format of CRICTL is similar to Docker CLI, despite some missing columns for some CLI. Make sure to check output for the specific command if your script output parsing.
