qm-guest-cmd: Execute a specific QEMU Guest Agent command.
$ qm guest cmd ${virtual_machine_id} ${select}
try on your machine
The command "qm guest cmd ${virtual_machine_id} ${select}" is likely a command used in a virtualization environment, specifically with Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) and its command-line tool called qm
.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "qm" is the command to interact with the Proxmox Virtual Environment's Qemu Manager (qm).
- "guest" is an argument that specifies we want to execute a command on the guest virtual machine.
- "cmd" indicates that we want to run a command within the guest virtual machine.
- "${virtual_machine_id}" represents a placeholder for the unique identifier (ID) of the virtual machine we want to operate on. You need to replace it with the actual ID.
- "${select}" is another placeholder representing the command we want to execute in the guest virtual machine. You need to replace it with the desired command.
In summary, the command allows you to run a specific command within a guest virtual machine identified by its ID. The exact purpose and output of the command will depend on the values provided for ${virtual_machine_id} and ${select}.
