日常中很多时候需要用到虚拟机，vbox和vmware都是windows系统下不错的虚

拟机软件，但是因为vbox的虚拟网络参数比较难调一些，所以我选择了使用vmware

虚拟机，在使用中遇到了一些不便，每次开机之后我都要手动打开虚拟机，感

觉很麻烦，于是从网上搜索了一下，通过命令行使用vmware.exe和vmrun.exe这

两个工具，都能实现从命令行启动虚拟机。

我自己使用的是vmrun工具来启动虚拟机的。vmrun的具体操作参数如下：

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Usage: vmrun [AUTHENTICATION-FLAGS] COMMAND [PARAMETERS]

 

 

 

AUTHENTICATION-FLAGS

--------------------

These must appear before the command and any command parameters.

 

   -h <hostName>  (not needed for Workstation)

   -P <hostPort>  (not needed for Workstation)

     for example, use '-T server' for VMware Server 2.0

                  use '-T server1' for VMware Server 1.0

                  use '-T ws' for VMware Workstation

                  use '-T ws-shared' for VMware Workstation (shared mode)

                  use '-T esx' for VMware ESX

                  use '-T vc' for VMware vCenter Server

   -u <userName in host OS>  (not needed for Workstation)

   -p <password in host OS>  (not needed for Workstation)

   -vp <password for encrypted virtual machine>
