automatic/script VM delete possible?

[JannisK]

Hi Guys,

i have a little question cause im not really sure if it is allready possible or not.

Is there a way to delete a VM e.g from a backup automatically or by script?

I'm running Proxmox 2.1-14.

Thx for your help

in console you can use qm to remove vm.

Hi Jannis,
I don't know if unexperiences work with auto-remove of VMs is and good idea...

But if you take a look on console with

# qm
ERROR: no command specified
USAGE: qm <COMMAND> [ARGS] [OPTIONS]
       qm config <vmid>
       qm create <vmid> [OPTIONS]
       qm destroy <vmid> [OPTIONS]
       qm list 
       qm migrate <vmid> <target> [OPTIONS]
       qm reset <vmid> [OPTIONS]
       qm resize <vmid> <disk> <size> [OPTIONS]
       qm resume <vmid> [OPTIONS]
       qm sendkey <vmid> <key> [OPTIONS]
       qm set <vmid> [OPTIONS]
       qm shutdown <vmid> [OPTIONS]
       qm start <vmid> [OPTIONS]
       qm stop <vmid> [OPTIONS]
       qm suspend <vmid> [OPTIONS]
       qm unlink <vmid> {<idlist>} [OPTIONS]

       qm help [<cmd>] [OPTIONS]

       qm monitor <vmid>
       qm mtunnel 
       qm showcmd <vmid>
       qm status <vmid> [OPTIONS]
       qm unlock <vmid>
       qm vncproxy <vmid>
       qm wait <vmid> [OPTIONS]

You see "qm destroy <vmid>" - this is the topic where you are search for. See also "man qm" (and use only own VMs for deleting!).

You could also use the API provided by Proxmox ... this can be even access via command line:
