    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;esxcli is the native comman dline that is used in the ESXi Shell.

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi, &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am new to VMWare's command line options. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just installed VMware-vSphere-CLI-5.1.0-780721.x86_64.tar.gz and I see options for both esxcli and vmware-cmd. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I tried to remotely shut-off a VM and while I can do it from "esxcli" to start it up, I had to use "vmware-cmd". Even the documentation/examples change half way through to using vmware-cmd instead of esxcli. This is very confusing to me. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Am I doing it right? I can get everything working, but I also want to make sure I'm doing it the right way...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; I guess there is not one right way of doing it...&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; My view is that commands and options have been evolving and we have what we have because of that evolution and not because some thought of API design.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; Esxcli seems a new structured way of accessing all host management functions, vmware-cmd seems related to vm management.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, all&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How about vi-cmd and esxcli? What is the difference between them? Is it a replacement to vmware-cmd?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Valter Junior&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Another question is: how can I list all services running in a ESXi host, but filtering by their status (started or stopped)?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
