I haven't seen that you could do that with the RCLI but you might want to look at this vi-toolkit script - http://communities.vmware.com/message/827789#827789 or this perl sample - http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-1003

I manage my VMs on ESX3i u3 hosts exclusively using RCLI commands.
PS - Just curious as to why you're doing that. |

Thanks for the pointers, but we are using redhat servers, so PowerShell scripts are no use to me I am evaluating ESXi server to work with a third party management tool, which will manage creation/register/unregister/deletion and start/stop of VMs using RCLI commands. When new VM gets created, its autostart parameters are in MANUAL START catagory by default, so I need a comand to move new VMs into AUTOSTART catagory. |

It may not fit into your plans, but VMware has an appliance that includes the VI Perl Toolkit. The file you would look at editing is /etc/vmware/hostd/vmAutoStart.xml.
