If it's a call where a worker gets forked we have an UPID which
represents this action and we have a UPID wait function where you can
wait for this task to finish.
If you're making perl scripts on a PVE host it'd be really easy:
use PVE::API2::Qemu;
use PVE::ProcFSTools;
my $params = {
node => $nodename,
vmid => $id,
timeout => $shutdown_timeout,
forceStop => 1,
};
my $upid = PVE::API2::Qemu->vm_shutdown($params);
PVE::ProcFSTools::upid_wait($upid);
# more code here
But I'm simply guessing you do something else than perl.
But you get the UPID also when making API calls in another way (through
REST calls, e.g.) so you could check on that task.
You will almost always need a loop with waits somewhere but you can make
one function like upid_wait and use that everywhere.
To see how the UPID is calculated look at:
https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-common.git;a=blob;f=src/PVE/Tools.pm;h=9f08aa6fbf0c08da62e2f17078684cc2136d5b14;hb=HEAD#l854
For an upid_wait function implementation see;

===== more easier approach ======
A bit complicated maybe, also polling the task (which is also defined by
the UPID) until it has "stopped" as status would be ok:
Something like (using pseudo code):
do {
sleep (1)
task = APICALL(get
nodes/nina/tasks/UPID:nina:00007F77:0029667A:56B36272:vncproxy:104:tom@pam:/status)
} while (task->{status} != 'stopped')

Hello list,
i'm using proxmox api to create Containers and managing ressources.
proxmox commands don't have a fixed duration so you need to refresh
calls to see that an action is correctly done..
Are there a method to catch the end of an action when using API calls?
