Script to destroy vms

["Joe Y." <jy...@gmail.com>]

Can anyone point me to a script or way of destroying virtual machines via
cli? In cloud monkey I only see destroy by I'd but I'd like to be able to
via display name...thanks for the help!

you'll have to write a bit of script to search the id for the vm first.

Joe,

Something like this should work:

DISPLAY_NAME="supercoolwebserver" cloudmonkey destroy virtualmachine id=$( cloudmonkey list virtualmachines filter=id displayname=${DISPLAY_NAME} | awk -F'"' '/id/ {print $4}' )

Depending on how you've named your instances, you may need 'name=' or 'displayname='.

Note this won't expunge the instance (add expunge=true to the destroy command to do this, or use the expunge command). The recover command (also requires the machine id) will bring a destroyed (but not expunged) instance back to life if you've made a mistake.

Hope this helps.


Kind regards,
