248 Deploying Your Operating System Using VMCLI
• Background execution — By default, the VMCLI utility runs in the
foreground. Use the operating system's command shell features to cause
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.
The latter 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 would block until the VMCLI program is terminated).
When multiple VMCLI instances are started in this way, and one or more of
the command instances must be manually terminated, use the operating
system-specific facilities for listing and terminating processes.
VMCLI Return Codes
English-only text messages are issued to standard error output whenever
errors are encountered.
