Command not found So I dug through the atravirt documentation an instead used the "vmware-vim-cmd" wrapper for vimsh as they suggested and it worked like a charm. I just issued a "vmware-vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms |grep " Then a "vmware-vim-cmd vmsvc/reload " and it worked beautifully. Hope that helps, and thanks for the article!! Hey Jason,
