qm-reset: Reset a virtual machine and skip lock (only root can use this option).
$ qm reset --skiplock ${true} ${vm_id}
try on your machine
The command you provided is likely used in the context of managing virtual machines (VMs) using a tool called "qm" (possibly related to Proxmox VE). Here's an explanation of the components of the command:
qm
: It is the name or alias of the command-line utility that allows you to manage virtual machines.reset
: It is a sub-command of theqm
utility, used to reset a VM's state.--skiplock
: It is an option passed to thereset
sub-command. It indicates that any lock held on the VM should be ignored while attempting to reset it. By default, if a VM is locked (e.g., by another running process or task), attempting to reset it would fail. With this option, the reset action proceeds regardless of any locks.${true}
: This is likely a variable placeholder, wheretrue
could be replaced with a specific value. It determines whether to skip the lock when resetting the VM. In this case, it's set totrue
, indicating that the lock should be skipped.${vm_id}
: This is another variable placeholder representing the ID or name of the specific virtual machine that will be reset. It should be replaced with the actual VM identifier.
Overall, the command instructs the qm
utility to reset a virtual machine identified by ${vm_id}
, making sure to ignore any locks held on the VM during the reset process.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
