Users Guide
NOTE: The VMCLI utility does not read from standard input (stdin). Hence, stdin redirection is not required.
• Background execution — By default, the VMCLI utility runs in the foreground. Use the operating system's command shell
features for the utility to run in the background.
For example, under a Linux operating system, the ampersand character (&) following the command causes the program to be
spawned as a new background process. This technique is useful in script programs, as it allows the script to proceed after a new
process is started for the VMCLI command (otherwise, the script blocks until the VMCLI program is terminated).
When multiple VMCLI sessions are started, use the operating system-specic facilities for listing and terminating processes.
