vmware-cmd on ESXi or some way to script start\stop VMs on ESXi

[bobg15]

Looking for a way to use vmware-cmd on ESXi. It doesn't appear to be possible. The only way I've found to script the start\stop of vms is VMRUN.exe on a windows machine.

Does anyone know if vmware-cmd is possible on ESXi?

Thanks

You'll want to look at using vim-cmd which is basically vimsh, there is no vmware-cmd on the unsupported Busybox console on ESXi

Here are more documentation on vimsh: http://engr.ucsb.edu/~duonglt/vmware/#vmware_vimsh
