Halt all Vagrant/VirtualBox VMs one-liner

—

If you’re using Vagrant to control your dev VMs on a headless server it’s easy to lose track of the number of running machines.

Here’s a one-liner to gracefully shut-down all of them to free up some resources.

<span class="lang:default decode:true  crayon-inline ">for VM in `VBoxManage list runningvms | awk '{ print $2; }'`; do VBoxManage controlvm $VM poweroff; done</span>Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

    I feel your pain! WebSphere is ridiculous. We deiedcd to just use Tomcat for local development, then deploy to websphere. I’ve been doing a lot of dev ops lately too Jenkins, ant, bash build scripts. Maybe not as fun as app development, but at least we can get stuff done. I hope you got your problems solved.
