Is it possible to browse snapshots via CLI like you can through the vSphere Snapshot Manager?
I know I can create a new snapshot, and I can revert to the last snapshot easily, but I would like to be able to pick a snapshot from a pool, if needed. This is a VM that the developers use and if they screw something up but don't notice until the last good image was 3 snapshots back, then reverting to the LAST snapshot does no good. And unfortunately my department can't afford any vSphere licenses until next FY.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can perform various snapshot operation using the vCLI Utility: snapshotmanager.pl : http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl40/doc/snapshotmanager.html

Thanks. I think that did it. The CLI that I had installed previously dropped so many scripts in so many places that I couldn't find anything unless I knew it's name.
