Note: It is best to use the root user to execute the following command
View running virtual machines
vmrun list virtual machine start
- Start the virtual machine without a graphical interface (-T is to distinguish the type of host machine, ws|server|server1|fusion|esx|vc|player, which may be more commonly used are ws, esx and player, but I did not add -T in Workstation It can run normally, maybe esx and server are needed)
vmrun -T ws start "/opt/VMware/win2k8r2.vmx" nogui
- Start a virtual machine with a GUI
vmrun start "/opt/VMware/win2k8r2.vmx" guivirtual machine shutdown
Forcibly shut down the virtual machine (equivalent to directly turning off the power)
vmrun stop "/opt/VMware/win2k8r2.vmx" hardShut down a virtual machine gracefully
vmrun stop "/opt/VMware/win2k8r2.vmx" softOther common commands
vmrun reset "/opt/VMware/win2k8r2.vmx" hard | soft冷重启虚拟机 | 热重启虚拟机
vmrun suspend "/opt/VMware/win2k8r2.vmx" hard | soft挂起虚拟机（可能相当于休眠）
vmrun pause "/opt/VMware/win2k8r2.vmx"暂停虚拟机
