Schedule a snapshot task via SSH

[arozalski1]

I'm in a pit of a pickle here. Adobe flash is EOL and i can't use flash to connect to my vcenter.  Since i can't use flash in my browsers i can't schedule a snapshot.  

All my hosts are on 6.5 so it has limited compatibility with HTML5 and upgrading is not an option at the moment.

So is there a way to schedule a snapshot via SSH. I started to look around but have no come across a command that will work.

I tried using powershell using this command New-VMScheduledSnapshot but even after importing vmware.powercli it says it's not recognized as a cmdlet. 

Please let me know if there is anyway using SSH or powershell to schedule a snapshot task.

Thanks
