              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

       --disable-vminfo
              Disables the vminfo service.

              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).

              Enables the cpuhotplug service. (default)
