I was editing the /etc/inetd.conf file in VI to enable SSH and when I believed to have saved it. I entered cat and pressed enter accidently. Now I seem to be stuck in a black screen where I can enter characters but can't exit from it. How would I go on my way to get back to the normal console without rebooting the ESXi.
Thanks

Try
ctrl-c. Cat without any parameters will direct stdin (your keyboard input) to stdout (your screen) until it is interrupted.
