qm-wait: Wait until the virtual machine is stopped.
$ qm wait ${vm_id}
try on your machine

This command is using the "qm" application to wait for a specific action to be completed on a virtual machine (VM) with the given ID.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "qm": It is the command-line utility for managing virtual machines in the Proxmox VE environment.
  • "wait": It is an argument or sub-command of the "qm" utility used to wait for an action to complete on a VM.
  • "${vm_id}": It is a placeholder representing the unique identifier or ID of the virtual machine. The actual ID value should be provided in place of "${vm_id}".

By using this command, the script or user can instruct the "qm" utility to pause execution until a particular action is finished on the specified virtual machine. The command will block further processing until the action, as determined by the "vm_id", is completed or terminates.

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.
