[pve-devel] [PATCH 2/2] now if the QMP command starts with guest-+ , it will bind dynamicly to the VMID.qga socket. To test the function vmtime is implemented which return the vm UNIX Time.

>>Maybe pvestatd can save if last qga command was successful (guest agent online)

what happen here if the guest agent is down ? (for example, when the vm is going to shutdown, stop the guest agent service)

BTW, which qga command is used to get status ? 
I don't find anything related in

Yes, I thought about doing this in pvestatd. 

Maybe pvestatd can save if last qga command was successful (guest agent online). If not, it 
just sends 'guest-sync' with short timeout.
