Hi Chris,
Ahh, yes ok you are correct there. I thought you were talking about the
ESXi command line in general.
Looks like I have to use the GUI for snapshot deletion after all.
Thanks,
Ben

with ESXi you can get to the command line.
on the ESXi server you can get to a command window by a key sequence and
edit a config file and turn on ssh.
Then use putty to get a command line remotely.
Everyone does it. Just can't find my notes on where to do it... I'll keep
searching... gooooooooogle it.
I use the cli to clone vms etc. Just didn't think to do remove snapshots
when the GUI had a point and click!
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...
