Re: retreive list of active processes from guest

After some searching based on your response, I came across   vGhetto / Code /  [r243]  /scripts/guestOpsManagement.pl where I found the solution:

my $vm_view = Vim::find_entity_views(view_type => 'VirtualMachine', filter => {'name' => $vmNameInVcenter});

my $guestOpMgr = Vim::get_view(mo_ref => Vim::get_service_content()->guestOperationsManager);

my $guestCreds = NamePasswordAuthentication->new(username => $guestusername, password => $guestpassword, interactiveSession => 'false');

my $procMgr = Vim::get_view(mo_ref => $guestOpMgr->processManager);

my $processlist = $procMgr->ListProcessesInGuest(vm => $vm_view, auth => $guestCreds);
