Start a machine in background mode

Hi,

Is there any way to start a machine in background mode?

I'm using this command:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware.exe" -x "d:\VMware\Server\Server.vmx"

But I don't want to see the workstation window. It's enough if it starts in background.

Thank you

You can use

vmrun

and the

start

command using the

nogui

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