For the shell script you could also use a IFS=" " right after the #!/bin/bash. So the character separating the virtual machines would be a line break instead of a space, which is the default value. You can also see this in the scripts of my site: http://www.krausmueller.de/news/browse/1/article/backup-von-virtuellen-maschinen-mit-vmware-server-und-gsx-server.html?tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=4&cHash=9260d35c3c (unfortunately it is written in german). Johannes Hello,

nice script. For the shell script you could also use a

IFS=”
