This command is using the "qm guest exec" command to execute a command inside a virtual machine (VM).
Here's a breakdown of the command syntax:
- "qm guest exec": This is the base command used to execute a command inside a VM.
- "${vm_id}": This is a placeholder for the ID of the VM where the command will be executed. You need to replace "${vm_id}" with the actual ID of the VM.
- "${arg1 arg2 ---}": These are additional arguments or parameters that you want to pass along with the command being executed inside the VM. It's indicated here as "${arg1 arg2 ---}" as a placeholder. You need to replace "${arg1 arg2 ---}" with the actual arguments or parameters you want to pass.
- "--timeout ${10}": This is an additional option to specify the maximum time (in seconds) the execution of the command should be allowed before it times out. In this case, it specifies a timeout of 10 seconds.
To use this command, you need to replace "${vm_id}" with the actual ID of the VM and "${arg1 arg2 ---}" with the specific arguments or parameters you want to pass to the command. Additionally, make sure to adjust the timeout value if desired.
