This look a little like a shell script, in which case i would say that you finish an if...then... whith a fi but your condition for the if needs to be fixed somewhat.

What does esxcli software vib list | grep -i net-mst give you?

Would the output from esxcli software vib list | grep -ic net-mst be better or perhaps you just need to test the return code of esxcli software vib list | grep -qi net-mst where zero is successful match and 1 is a failure to match. Return code 2 is an error.


I'm not sure that the trailing & will be useful either. It will put that command into the background, so you don't know (without looking) when it has finished.


Do these suggestions/questions help?

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
