qm-guest-exec-status: Print the status of a specific PID.
$ qm guest exec-status ${vm_id} ${pid}
try on your machine

The command "qm guest exec-status ${vm_id} ${pid}" is a command used in QEMU, a virtualization software used to create and manage virtual machines.

Here is an explanation of each element of the command:

  • "qm" is the QEMU Monitor command-line tool used to manage and control virtual machines.
  • "guest exec-status" is a command within QEMU that allows you to check the execution status of a process running inside a guest virtual machine.
  • "${vm_id}" is a placeholder for the ID or name of the virtual machine you want to check the process execution status for. You need to replace "${vm_id}" with the actual ID or name of the virtual machine.
  • "${pid}" is a placeholder for the process ID (PID) of the process whose execution status you want to check. You need to replace "${pid}" with the actual PID.

When executed, this command connects to the QEMU Monitor for the specified virtual machine and retrieves the execution status of the specified process with the given PID. It can provide information like whether the process is running, stopped, or terminated, which can be useful for monitoring and managing processes within a virtual machine.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
