Thanks!

find /vmfs/volumes/v02tstn02a01/ -type d | while read dir; do if [ ! -f $dir/*.vmx ]; then echo $dir; fi; done;

Very similar.

Thanks a bunch for the replies.
That will probably break if you have more than one file in a directory. If you have only one vmx can be in a directory you'll be fine.

runsvchdir

runsvchdir(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     runsvchdir(8)

NAME

       runsvchdir - change services directory of runsvdir(8)

SYNOPSIS

       runsvchdir dir

DESCRIPTION

       dir is a services directory for the use with runsvdir(8).  If dir does not start with a slash, it is searched in /etc/runit/runsvdir/.  dir
       must not start with a dot.

       runsvchdir switches to the directory /etc/runit/runsvdir/, copies current to previous, and replaces current with a symlink pointing to dir.

       Normally /etc/service is a symlink to current, and runsvdir(8) is running /etc/service/.

EXIT CODES

       runsvchdir prints an error message and exits 111 on error.  runsvchdir exits 0 on success.

FILES

	/etc/runit/runsvdir/previous
	/etc/runit/runsvdir/current
	/etc/runit/runsvdir/current.new

SEE ALSO

       runsvdir(8), runit(8), runit-init(8), sv(8), runsv(8)
