[PVE-User] Proxmox API catch response

[Mohamed Sadok Ben Jazia]

I think those last lines are good for my work

do {
    sleep (1)
    task = APICALL(get
nodes/nina/tasks/UPID:nina:00007F77:0029667A:56B36272:vncproxy:104:tom at pam
:/status)
} while (task->{status} != 'stopped')


Do you think proxmox server can support a lot of pings each a short period
of time?
