<p class=MsoNormal>I am not much of a bash script artist, but I know the logic
that I need to use for an EXT that I think many VMware users would find handy.
The purpose of this EXT is to provide a list of virtual machines that are
allocated to the host, and indicate whether or not they are running.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve tried to provide my logic below:<o:p></o:p></p>
