virt-manager: Don't fork virt-manager process into background on startup.
$ virt-manager --no-fork
try on your machine
The command "virt-manager --no-fork" is used to start the Virtual Machine Manager (Virt-Manager) application without forking it into the background.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "virt-manager" is the executable command for the Virt-Manager application. Virt-Manager is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool for managing virtual machines (VMs) using libvirt.
- "--no-fork" is an option or flag passed to the virt-manager command. When this option is provided, it instructs Virt-Manager not to fork itself into the background. By default, when starting Virt-Manager, it creates a new process that runs in the background. However, using "--no-fork" prevents this background execution and keeps the application active in the current terminal session.
Running Virt-Manager without forking can be useful when you want to see the application's logs and status updates directly in the terminal, or if you need to troubleshoot any issues with Virt-Manager. Without the "--no-fork" option, the command will start Virt-Manager in the background, and you won't see any output or messages in the terminal.
