Removing the VM(s)

We can either Delete the VMs with the boss command:

/usr/lib/contractor/util/boss -s <structure id> --do-destroy
/usr/lib/contractor/util/boss -f <locator> --do-destroy --wait
/usr/lib/contractor/util/boss -s <structure id> --delete
/usr/lib/contractor/util/boss -f <locator> --delete

or via the API:

curl "${COPS[@]}" -X CALL "${CHOST}/api/v1/Building/Structure:< structure id >:(doDestroy)"
curl "${COPS[@]}" -X CALL "${CHOST}/api/v1/Building/Foundation:< locator >:(doDestroy)"

wait for that job to complete, and finally:

curl "${COPS[@]}" -X DELETE "${CHOST}/api/v1/Building/Structure:< structure id >:"
curl "${COPS[@]}" -X DELETE "${CHOST}/api/v1/Building/Foundation:< locator >:"

Now the VM is no longer in virtualbox/vcenter nor contractor.

The boss command can also trigger jobs, and set the status of foundations and structures. See:

/usr/lib/contractor/util/boss --help

for more info.
