how long VMs are running

[tincboy]

I need a command like `qm list` which shows how long each VM is running,
Any suggestion on finding VMs running time in shell?

vzlist -o ctid,numproc,status,ip,hostname,uptime

Thanks, But my VMs are KVM based and this command only shows containers.

qm status 101 -verbose | tail -1 | cut -f2 -d":"

will give you the uptime of VM 101 in seconds.

Thanks Erk, this one works.
But this command only works on Proxmox 2, any suggestion for Proxmox 1.9? I've still many servers with Proxmox 1.9

Sorry, I can't help you there, I recently updated all my Proxmox servers to 2.1 don't have any 1.9 to test it on.

this one works on both 1.9 and 2.1

ps -o etime `cat /var/run/qemu-server/$vmid.pid`

Another command which will give you all the kvm VM at once is

/bin/ps axo pid,cmd,etime | grep chard
