Теперь несколько примеров использования. Например вы желаете периодически просматривать список запущенных в данный момент ВМ. Команда для этого будет следующей:
#vmrun -T server -h https://server:8333/sdk -u root -p password list
а вот команда для просмотра всех зарегистрированных ВМ
#vmrun -T server -h https://server:8333/sdk -u root -p password listRegisteredVM
Вы видите что в обоих командах присутствует общая часть - параметры подключения к серверу. Чтобы каждый раз не печатать, их можно выделить в отдельный файл. например файл srvconn
-T server -h https://server:8333/sdk -u root -p password
а для просмотра, например, всех зарегистрированных ВМ можно создать такой файл.
#vmrun `cat srvconn` listRegisteredVM
и сохранить его под именем listall, затем изменить права
#chmod +x ./listall
Теперь список всех зарегистрированных ВМ можно увидеть выполнив команду
#./listall
