I suppose I wasn't clear (: I meant that the command _vmware-cmd_ isn't available normally (without admin installation) on the COS, at least it's not on my ESXi servers. ESX: [r...@blah ~]# which vmware-cmd /usr/bin/vmware-cmd [r...@blah ~]# echo $PATH /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin [r...@blah ~]# ESXi: ~ # which vmware-cmd ~ # echo $PATH /bin:/sbin ~ # ls -l /usr/bin/vmware-cmd ls: /usr/bin/vmware-cmd: No such file or directory ~ # Sorry for the confusion...
