Can rbvmomi use VM Tools similarly to Invoke-VMScript script

Question

I need to copy a script and run it in a VM. Have been using PowerCLI Invoke-VMScript and Copy-VMGuestFile. Can the same be accomplished with rbvmomi (and how :) )? Thanks

The solution is StartProgramInGuest https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc%2Fvim.vm.guest.ProcessManager.html

Hope this helps someone.
