In my company we're thinking of using vmplayer(s) and its unity feature in our embedded system. When the users power off the system, we would like to be able to power off the virtual machines automatically. I know that you can start the machines simply with vmplayer.exe path.vmx but I haven't found a way to shutdown the vm through command line. The only way I've found is by using VIX and vmrun -suspend or -stop.
Now, I wonder, is it possible to distribute vmrun.exe? I know the vix api files (Redistibutable VIX API client libraries | VIX API Blog - VMware Blogs) are redistributable but what about vmrun?
