qm-status: Display detailed status of a specific virtual machine.
$ qm status --verbose ${true} ${vm_id}
try on your machine

The "qm" command is typically used to manage QEMU-KVM based virtual machines in a Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE).

The specific command provided is "qm status --verbose ${true} ${vm_id}". Let's break it down:

  • "qm status" is used to check the current status of a virtual machine.
  • "--verbose" is an optional flag that provides additional detailed information about the virtual machine's status.
  • "${true}" is a placeholder for a boolean value, typically used to enable certain options or perform specific actions. In this case, it's likely used to request a verbose output.
  • "${vm_id}" is another placeholder representing the ID (or name) of the virtual machine you want to check the status of. You would replace it with the actual ID or name.

So, this command would be used to get the detailed status of a virtual machine with the specified ID or name, providing additional verbose information if "${true}" resolves to true.

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.
