VMA esxcli

How do you limit the output of commands used with esxcli as in pausing the output so it doesn't scroll off screen?

Hi,

you can pipe the output to more so you can scroll through the output yourself:

esxcli command bla bla | more

Tried it with | more, after hitting return it drops down to next line, where it normally would ask for username it's just blank, hit return again and it prompts for password, enter password for server and it comes back with incorrect username or password.

Use same command without | more and it prompts for username and password as it normally would and then displays output but scrolls off
