qm-shutdown:tldr:89db5

This command is used to shut down a virtual machine (VM) using the qm utility, which is typically associated with the Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) platform.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

• qm: It is the command-line utility for managing virtual machines in Proxmox VE.
• shutdown: It is the action to be performed on the virtual machine. In this case, it is shutting down the VM.
• --keepActive: It is an option that specifies whether or not to keep the guest agent active. The guest agent is a component running inside the VM that allows for efficient shutdown and other operations.
• ${true}: It is a variable placeholder with a boolean value that determines whether to keep the guest agent active. Here, it is set to true, indicating that the guest agent should remain active.
• ${VM_ID}: It is another variable placeholder that represents the ID of the virtual machine that needs to be shut down. The actual VM ID value needs to be inserted in place of ${VM_ID}.

To actually use this command, you should replace ${true} with true and ${VM_ID} with the actual VM ID assigned in your Proxmox VE environment.
