grep - STDIN is getting listed while listing Azure VMs, hence getting "invalid resource id" error

Question

I used the below command to list and stop all the VMs in my account. VMs are listing, but an additional STDIN is getting listed. This STDIN is causing the error "invalid resource id"

What can I do to ignore the STDIN??. Your help greatly appreciated.

az vm stop --ids $(az vm list --query "[].id" -o tsv) | grep -v "ABDK" 

thanks

Answer 1

If you mean the VM name by the STDIN and want to stop all the VMs that the name does not contain the string ABDK, then you can use the CLI command only like this:

az vm stop --ids $(az vm list --query "[?contains(@.name, 'ABDK')==`false`].id" -o tsv)

Update:

If you run the CLI command in the Windows PowerShell, then you need to change the command like this:

az vm stop --ids $(az vm list --query "[?!contains(@.name, 'ABDK')].id" -o tsv)
