disabling mob using plink

[gajuambi]

There are options to disable mob on your esxi hosts (not to mention an excellent one from my colleague) using plink and batch file but i wanted to take a different approach which can be modified for some other stuff like this in future which can't all be done via powercli but requires vcli or shell.

Here is the mob disable command from

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=101603...

vim-cmd proxysvc/remove_service "/mob" "httpsWithRedirect"

Task 1. create a text file on /tmp/file.txt using powershell/powercli and plink

task 2. append the command seen above using powershell/powercli and plink

(task 3. add quotes to the /mob and httpsWithRedirect using awk or sed or some other bash method via powershell/powercli and plink)

Is this impossible? If so then i will stick with what we have currently and if not then i would appreciate some help with this.

well i guess i had to do it all by myself.

forgot to come back and post the solution that i found.

its on github.
