vmx

Thin CLI Wrapper for VMware vmrun.

Some VMware products have a command line application vmrun, it is useful for command line operation or launching VMs in no GUI mode. vmrun requires vmx file path for its argument, and typing vmx path is annoying because default VMs are created in deep in home directory and those names are included spaces.

This utility runs vmrun with a simple VM name like:

$ vmx start Debian

Your virtual machines are found by:

$ vmx list

This tools appends nogui option for start command. If you want to launch a VM in GUI mode, specify gui option explicitly:

$ vmx start Debian gui

Install

Just go get this repository

go get github.com/nsaeki/vmx

Caveats

Supports only VMware Fusion for Mac.
