Thomas Bishop figured out how to automatically let your ESX 3i server start in the interactive shell mode. Well that’s great but what to do when we are logged in. Do we have the same environment as the service console or are there less or new features? I captured a list of commands you could use in the ESX 3i interactive shell. Have fun with it and use at your own risk.

This is not the same environment as the linux console. It is basically an embedded system, there are no GNU utilities, just those provided by busybox, no toolchain, etc and is not intended for general use.
