How do I find the PID number of a VM

[kaychan]

Hi,

How do I find the PID number of the VM under the ESX host?? What are the commands that I can use under putty??

Thanks.

Under Putty you shoul be able to determine a VMs PID with this command:

ps auxfww | grep &lt;vmname&gt;</span>

Kind Regards,

Hi,

simply use vm-support -x

Upps, disregard. This doesn't provide the infos you're looking for.

I usually use the method supplied by Gerritt but think you can also use:

vmware-cmd /home/vmware/VMNAME/VMNAME.vmx getpid

grep VMNAME /proc/vmware/vm//

Try this

ps -ef | grep VM-Name

Hope this helps.
