Linux and Unix - Script and Screen

More for future me:

script <filename> #This will basically start a file named whatever in thr location you specified with every command you entered. Once you are finished type Ctrl+D to stop recording the session and then you can go back and read your file. Keep in mind that script is not perfect and other cli based apps will get recorded too which may make your script output look a bit odd.

Screen <option> #This is used when needing to switch or disconnect from multiple cli sessions. Using -list you can see all of the sessions, -r will allow you to reconnect to one and Ctrl+A and Quit will allow you to quit properly the session. If you only need to leave it temporarily using Ctrl+A and D which will just disconnect that screen session.

OVA/OVF Templates and Older Versions of VMware ESXI

Recently ran into this issue which I feel is something that I should document, as it provides some additional details onto how to configure or modify an existing .ova or .ovf file which is the standard deployment template for ESXI/VMware. Here was the issue: - ESXI 5.5 - OVA required hardware type 8. Gave an error of  " Unsupported hardware version - vmx-8" when testing. Based on everything I was reading, it isn't supported. So using the ovftool which can be found on VMware's Website ( here ) you can basically extract out the ova/ovf file into a directory, and then use it to modify the VMX file and then put it all back together. Steps: 1. Download the application and install it. 2. Go to the directory where the ovftool is stored via cmd line (Typically C:\Programs Files\Vmware\ect..) 3. Issue the following command: ovftool 4. Then modify the .vmx file so that it contains now the hardware ID of 7 (or whatever you need set for your release). 5. Then issu...
