How to Suspend Fusion Process in OSX

[johnstonf]

I remember SOMEHOW being able to, in Terminal, be able to suspend the complete FUSION,

so that I could use the MAC at full speed for a bit, and then issue some sort of a resume

command to the process, and it would then carry on (just reconnect networked shares

sometime, etc, but no biggy).

Does anyone know how to do this? (doesn't need to be done in terminal if there is

another way... (I don't want to suspend all of my vm's... I'm looking to just stop Fusion

dead in it's tracks, and then have it carry on again at my becking)...

Thanks

You can use

vmrun

and the

pause

command to do that. Have a look at: Using <tt>vmrun</tt> to Control Virtual Machines

I am hoping to use an OSX command to stop Fusion totally in one

step (not have to stop each vm).

Thanks...

VMware Fusion the Application and the actual Virtual Machine(s) are separate processes and AFAIK there is not a native OS X command to achieve what you're asking however there are other commands then pause within vmrun and you can script it to act upon multiple Virtual Machines if need be.
