How to check snapshot removal progress?

[bazza52]

I am committing snapshots (using "Delete All" in the Snapshot Manager), but of course it times out after 15 minutes in the Recent Tasks pane with an error.

I assume the process is still working in the background as it takes some time - how can you check at the command line if the snapshot removal process is actually running? (the two snapshots are 10GB and 20GB)

$vimsh

You can actually monitor the progress using the following as described by this VMware KB: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1007566

Thanks - with vimsh the task is still running;
