RE: Script to destroy vms

[Simon Fiddaman]

Joe,

Something like this should work:

DISPLAY_NAME=supercoolwebserver cloudmonkey destroy virtualmachine id=$( 
cloudmonkey list virtualmachines filter=id displayname=${DISPLAY_NAME} | awk 
-F'' '/id/ {print $4}' )

Depending on how you've named your instances, you may need 'name=' or 
'displayname='.

Note this won't expunge the instance (add expunge=true to the destroy command 
to do this, or use the expunge command). The recover command (also requires the 
machine id) will bring a destroyed (but not expunged) instance back to life if 
you've made a mistake.

Hope this helps.


Kind regards,

you'll have to write a bit of script to search the id for the vm first.
