API equivalent of qm guest exec

[Hyien]

what's the api of pvesh equivalent of qm guest exec?

eg. qm guest exec 100 '/bin/ls' -- '-ald' '/tmp'

i tried pvesh create /nodes/xxx/qemu/100/agent/exec -command 'ls -ald /tmp', but it's giving me an error:
Wide character in die at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/RESTHandler.pm line 869.

also, i noticed qm shows the command output, but pvesh returns just the pid

also tried
qm guest exec 100 '/bin/ls -ald /tmp'
but didnt work.

you have to specify the 'command' arg for each part of the command:

pvesh create /nodes/xxx/qemu/100/agent/exec -command 'ls' --command '-ald' --command '/tmp'

and then feed the pid into exec-status (qm guest exec does this by default)

pvesh get /nodes/xxx/qemu/100/agent/exec-status --pid 12345
