You're completely right, the VM should be able to get powered on by the HA agent running on each ESX server. The time period you mentioned is called "grace period" by VMware, and it's only 14 days.

Going to the gym could make you more physically fit not necessarily healthier. Health has to do with not getting sick. Being able to fight infections is a function of your immune system and a healthy immune system is achieved solely through proper nutrition. Just look at how many athletes miss games from the flu. If they get sick then they are not healthy yet they are most likely physically fit. Are they not? Just my 2 cents. Please don’t confuse getting healtier with going to the gym.

It shouldn't be necessary to combine grep and sed this way. sed can do the grep part, which will save you a pipe and some time and effort if you do this command over a large file or group of files. I might have this somewhat wrong, but you could put those commands in an external file called userinfo.sed, and invoke it with the -f flag; something like: userinfo.sed: ,(username=|),{ s/.*$/,ou=devs,dc=gentoo,dc=org\nadd: mail/ s/.*/mail: / ,,d , ,d }p sed -nf userinfo.sed userinfo.xml On the other hand, sed is not usually the best choice for modifying xml. Far from it, in fact. XSLT was built for mangling xml and does it much more consistently and reliably than sed ever will. I'm not prepared to give an example of doing this transformation with XSLT at the moment, but I guarantee it's the right way to go here. Hope this isn’t a repeat; my first attempt to post failed.

It shouldn’t be necessary to combine grep and sed this way. sed can do the grep part, which will save you a pipe and some time and effort if you do this command over a large file or group of files.
I might have this somewhat wrong, but you could put those commands in an external file called userinfo.sed, and invoke it with the -f flag; something like:

userinfo.sed:
,(username=|),{
s/.*$/,ou=devs,dc=gentoo,dc=org\nadd: mail/
s/.*/mail: /
,,d
, ,d
}p

sed -nf userinfo.sed userinfo.xml

On the other hand, sed is not usually the best choice for modifying xml. Far from it, in fact. XSLT was built for mangling xml and does it much more consistently and reliably than sed ever will. I’m not prepared to give an example of doing this transformation with XSLT at the moment, but I guarantee it’s the right way to go here.
