That's probably because there isn't much. :-)

There are only a handful of commands that are useful when using rpctool; in 
fact, I can only think of two:

. vmware-rpctool "info-set guestinfo.foo 1234" -> sets "guestinfo.foo" to "1234"
. vmware-rpctool "info-get guestinfo.foo" -> prints "1234"

These variables are kept on the host (and you can set guestinfo.* variables in 
the VM's .vmx file and retrieve them with this command). Off the top of my 
head, 
I can't think of any other RPC commands that are useful from the command line.
