vmstatedctl [-h] [-s sockpath] command vmname

The vmstatedctl utility sends user commands to vmstated(8) to change the state and interoperate with virtual machines running on the host.

sockpath

print usage summary and exit immediately

vmstatedctl supports the following commands for the command argument:

start

status
Lists the known virtual machines managed by vmstated(8) and their current runtime state

Resets a virtual machine, that has reached FAILED state back to the INIT state.

  • /var/run/vmstated.sock - socket file used by vmstatedctl to communicate with vmstated.

The vmstated utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. It may fail for one of the following reasons:
