(default) .TP \fB\-\-disable\-control\fR Disables the control service. .TP \fB\-\-only\-control\fR Only enables the control service. .TP \fB\-\-control\-interval\fR Specifies the interval at which to check for new control commands. The default is 1000 ms. .TP \fB\-\-control\-procs\-max\-kept\fR Specifies how many started guest processes are kept into memory to work with. Default is 256. .TP \fB\-\-enable\-timesync\fR Enables the timesync service. (default) .TP \fB\-\-disable\-timesync\fR Disables the timesync service. .TP \fB\-\-only\-timesync\fR Only enables the timesync service. .TP \fB\-\-timesync\-interval\fR Specifies the interval at which to synchronize the time with the host. The default is 10000 ms. .TP \fB\-\-timesync\-min\-adjust\fR The minimum absolute drift value measured in milliseconds to make adjustments for. The default is 1000 ms on OS/2 and 100 ms elsewhere. .TP \fB\-\-timesync\-latency\-factor\fR The factor to multiply the time query latency with to calculate the dynamic minimum adjust time. The default is 8 times. .TP \fB\-\-timesync\-max\-latency\fR The max host timer query latency to accept. The default is 250 ms. .TP \fB\-\-timesync\-set\-threshold\fR The absolute drift threshold, given as milliseconds, where to start setting the time instead of trying to adjust it. The default is 20 min. .TP \fB\-\-timesync\-set\-start\fR Set the time when starting the time sync service. .TP \fB\-\-timesync\-set\-on\-restore\fR 0|1 Immediately set the time when the VM was restored. 1 = set (default), 0 = don't set. .TP \fB\-\-enable\-vminfo\fR Enables the vminfo service.
