Does esx support standard shell scripting statements (for example -for name in `cat /etc/hosts | awk '{print $2}'`) type of syntax?
What I am trying to do is create a script that will get a list of all running VM's on the host, then shut them down using vim-cmd command or do I have to use power-cli commands and forget shell scripting commands? Any help or suggestions are all welcome (even smart ass remarks.. )
