Remctl

@@ +1 @@
+We use [http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/remctl/ remctl] to pass commands back and forth between our different servers, and we've added the ability for you to tap into this to control your VMs without using the web interface.
+
+If you don't have remctl installed locally (there is a `remctl-client` package in Debian and Ubuntu), you can run it out of the remctl locker by first typing
+
+{{{
+athena% add remctl
+}}}
+
+Once you've done that, you can use any of the following commands to manipulate your VM (using our test VM, moo17, as an example)
+
+{{{
+# For information about the state of your VM:
+athena% remctl remote.mit.edu control moo17 list
+athena% remctl remote.mit.edu control moo17 uptime
+athena% remctl remote.mit.edu control moo17 list-long
+# To start up your VM:
+athena% remctl remote.mit.edu control moo17 create
+# To attempt to cleanly shutdown your VM:
+athena% remctl remote.mit.edu control moo17 shutdown
+# To hard shutdown your VM:
+athena% remctl remote.mit.edu control moo17 destroy
+# To hard reboot your VM:
+athena% remctl remote.mit.edu control moo17 reboot
+}}}
