qm-start: Start a specific virtual machine.
$ qm start ${100}
try on your machine

The command "qm start ${100}" starts a virtual machine with an ID of 100 on a system running Proxmox VE, an open-source virtualization platform.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "qm" refers to the Proxmox VE command-line utility for managing virtual machines.
  • "start" is the command within "qm" to start a virtual machine. It initiates the booting process of the specified virtual machine.
  • "${100}" represents the ID of the virtual machine you want to start, in this case, 100. The use of "${}" is common in shell scripting to reference variables. In this case, it implies that the command intends to start the virtual machine with the ID specified in the variable "100".

Note that the actual syntax and usage may vary depending on the context and specific version of Proxmox VE being used.
