OPTIONS

-i | --interval: The default interval.
-f | --foreground: Don't daemonize the program. For debugging.
-l | --logfile <file>: Enables logging to a file.
-p | --pidfile <file>: Write the process ID to a file.
-v | --verbose: Increment the verbosity level. For debugging.
-V | --version: Show version information.
-h | -? | --help: Show this message and exit with status 1.

Service-specific options:

--enable-control: Enables the control service. (default)
--disable-control: Disables the control service.
--only-control: Only enables the control service.
--control-interval: Specifies the interval at which to check for new control messages. The default is 1000 ms.
--enable-timesync: Enables the timesync service. (default)
--disable-timesync: Disables the timesync service.
--only-timesync: Only enables the timesync service.
--timesync-interval: Specifies the interval at which to synchronize the time with the host. The default is 10000 ms.
--timesync-min-adjust: The minimum absolute drift value measured in milliseconds to make adjustments for. The default is 1000 ms on OS/2 and 100 ms elsewhere.
--timesync-latency-factor: The factor to multiply the time query latency with to calculate the dynamic minimum adjust time. The default is 8 times.
--timesync-max-latency: The max host timer query latency to accept. The default is 250 ms.
--timesync-set-threshold: The absolute drift threshold, given as milliseconds, where to start setting the time instead of trying to adjust it. The default is 20 min.
--timesync-set-start, --timesync-no-set-start: Set the time when starting the time sync service. Default: --timesync-no-set-start
--timesync-set-on-restore, --timesync-no-set-on-restore: Whether to immediately set the time when the VM is restored or not. Default: --timesync-set-on-restore
--timesync-verbosity: Sets the verbosity level. Defaults to service wide verbosity level.
--enable-vminfo: Enables the vminfo service. (default)
--disable-vminfo: Disables the vminfo service.
--only-vminfo: Only enables the vminfo service.
--vminfo-interval: Specifies the interval at which to retrieve the VM information. The default is 10000 ms.
--vminfo-user-idle-threshold <ms>: Specifies the user idle threshold (in ms) for considering a guest user as being idle. The default is 5000 (5 seconds).
--enable-cpuhotplug: Enables the cpuhotplug service. (default)
--disable-cpuhotplug: Disables the cpuhotplug service.
--only-cpuhotplug: Only enables the cpuhotplug service.
--enable-memballoon: Enables the memballoon service. (default)
--disable-memballoon: Disables the memballoon service.
--only-memballoon: Only enables the memballoon service.
--enable-vmstats: Enables the vmstats service. (default)
--disable-vmstats: Disables the vmstats service.
--only-vmstats: Only enables the vmstats service.
--enable-automount: Enables the automount service. (default)
--disable-automount: Disables the automount service.
--only-automount: Only enables the automount service.
