Get World ID of VM

   esxcli vm process list | grep -A 2 <VM Name>

To kill unresponsive VM

   esxcli vm process kill --type=soft --wordld-id=<WorldID>

If this does not help:

   esxcli vm process kill --type=hard --wordld-id=<WorldID>

If all os so bad then as a last resort:

   esxcli vm process kill --type=force --wordld-id=<WorldID>
