Hello,
I have been trying to google my way around and find out how I can create and start a virtual machine from the command line.
My platform would be Workstation 10 and 11 on a Windows host.
It started with a friend of mine who had a great scripted setup for VirtualBox, and in my searches I found several guides for
VirtualBox and Hyper-V from Microsoft.
I have found references to Perl scripting that I think is relevant but I so far have not found an example of creating a virtual machine
and I am not very strong in Perl. i have found references to Vix and examples of C programs to use it. I also found some PowerShell
extensions for Vmware but not ones that seemed to do what I need.
I have also been confused about what tools work with Workstation and what tools work with the other tools and platforms that
Vmware has.
