How to Send a VMS Shutdown Message

VMS is a component of VMware ESX Server that manages all VMware virtual systems running on the server machine. VMS is capable of sending messages to all connected VMware guest operating systems, also known as containers, that are installed on the server. You can send a "shutdown" message to all systems from the ESX command-line.
