.. program:: qvm-run
:program:`qvm-run` -- Run a command in a specified VM
=====================================================
Synopsis
--------
:command:`qvm-run` [-h] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--all] [--exclude *EXCLUDE*] [--user *USER*] [--autostart] [--pass-io] [--localcmd *COMMAND*] [--gui] [--no-gui] [--colour-output *COLOR*] [--no-color-output] [--filter-escape-chars] [--no-filter-escape-chars] [*VMNAME*] *COMMAND*
Options
-------
.. option:: --help, -h
Show the help message and exit.
.. option:: --verbose, -v
Increase verbosity.
.. option:: --quiet, -q
Decrease verbosity.
.. option:: --all
Run the command on all qubes. You can use :option:`--exclude` to limit the
qubes set. Command is never run on the dom0.
.. option:: --exclude
Exclude the qube from :option:`--all`.
.. option:: --user=USER, -u USER
Run command in a qube as *USER*.
.. option:: --auto, --autostart, -a
Start the qube if it is not running.
.. option:: --pass-io, -p
Pass standard input and output to and from the remote program.
.. option:: --localcmd=COMMAND
With :option:`--pass-io`, pass standard input and output to and from the
given program.
.. option:: --gui
Run the command with GUI forwarding enabled, which is the default. This
switch can be used to counter :option:`--no-gui`.
.. option:: --no-gui, --nogui
Run the command without GUI forwarding enabled. Can be switched back with
:option:`--gui`.
.. option:: --colour-output=COLOUR, --color-output=COLOR
Mark the qube output with given ANSI colour (ie. "31" for red). The exact
apping of numbers to colours and styles depends of the particular terminal
emulator.
Colouring can be disabled with :option:`--no-colour-output`.
.. option:: --no-colour-output, --no-color-output
Disable colouring the stdio.
.. option:: --filter-escape-chars
Filter terminal escape sequences (default if output is terminal).
Terminal control characters are a security issue, which in worst case amount
to arbitrary command execution. In the simplest case this requires two often
found codes: terminal title setting (which puts arbitrary string in the
window title) and title repo reporting (which puts that string on the shell's
standard input.
.. option:: --no-filter-escape-chars
Do not filter terminal escape sequences. This is DANGEROUS when output is
a terminal emulator. See :option:`--filter-escape-chars` for explanation.
