One of the biggest challenges I run into working with ESXi hosts is the lack of a real usable CLI. The remote CLI provided by VMware is clunky at best and makes administration a bit of a pain. I did some poking around and managed to find some interesting CLI commands that work for ESXi.

Most of these have no manual page but will output a help message if run by themselves. I would recommend using extreme caution and using a test host to determine the usefulness in your environment before using them on an important system. Also keep in mind that the examples that I give are not the "only" way the commands can be used.

To power on a virtual machine from the command line:

    - Lists all vm's running on hypervisor and provides vmid
    
    vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms

// Purpose: The edX AMR course textbook had extra large side buttons and very slow loading time, which was really annoying.
//          For personal use only.
// Note: Create a directory ./book before running PHP script.
// Example: 
//    mkdir ./book         # Create directory
//    sudo chmod +w./book  # Make the book directory writeable
//    vim amr_textbook.php # Copy paste the following script, save, exit (:wq)
