Wrapping an interactive shell around qm guest exec

[ispirto]

Virtuozzo 7 has a way to run interactive shell for qemu guests referenced at https://docs.openvz.org/openvz_command_line_reference.webhelp/_prlctl_enter.html

It requires only the qemu guest agent installed on the guest.

So I believe they have somehow wrapped an interactive shell around the qemu agent's guest-exec method.

Proxmox has qm guest exec <vmid> <command> working great.

I was wondering if there is a way to implement a wrapper shell for interaction with the guest's OS just like Virtuozzo 7 has with Proxmox.

Maybe setting up a serial console is the easier way to go, have you tried that?

my suggestion would be for ip change

qm guest exec 209 netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Ethernet" static 192.168.3.8 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.1

209 = vmid
