The command "qm status ${vm_id}" is used in a virtualization environment to check the status of a specific virtual machine (VM) identified by the ${vm_id} parameter.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "qm" refers to the QEMU machine manager, a command-line interface (CLI) tool used to manage and control QEMU-based virtual machines.
• "status" is a subcommand used with "qm" to get the status of a virtual machine.
• "${vm_id}" is a placeholder for the unique identifier (ID) of the virtual machine that you want to check the status of. The ID is typically assigned by the virtualization environment and can be a number or alphanumeric string.

When you run the command, it queries the virtualization environment to retrieve the status of the specified virtual machine. The status can indicate whether the VM is running, stopped, paused, or in some other state. The output of the command will provide information about the VM's current status, allowing you to determine its operational state and take further actions if needed.
