First off, is it possible to open up a VMplayer through a batch file?

If so, can someone help me make one to open up Fahmon, 2 VM clients, and 1 GPU client.

I can get the GPU client and Fahmon, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get the VMclients to open up.

Ya; I get a window to open for a split second that then closes before I can read what it says. Regardless, I can't get the VMPlayers to open.

It should look something like this.

start "" "C:\\Program Files\\FAH\\VMware Player.exe"

WELL this works fine for me.

Code:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

D:\\Documents and Settings\\LicheLord.CRYPT.000>cd\\

D:\\>copy con test.bat
"D:\\[email protected]\\OCN [email protected]\\OCN [email protected]"
^Z
        1 file(s) copied.

D:\\>test

D:\\>"D:\\[email protected]\\OCN [email protected]\\OCN [email protected]"

No need for start. ON XP but who knows what M$ will screw with next.

Completely lost on your syntax Hueristic, but I've always adored your location.

As for Mad J, I don't know much about batch files, but I know the virtual machine file I want to open has the extension .vmx, which I always thought was what was giving me issues. Is it possible to tell the rig to open 2 copies of virtual machine, then direct it to the vmx files?

You're lucky I've been making [email protected] installers that are unfortunately illegal to post for now; here you go:

<path to vmware player>\\vmplayer.exe -x "<path to .vmx>\\folding.vmx"

I'm actually using this make registry entries

For the other clients, you should make them start at their location. This means, first "cd" to the directory and then run it to be on the safe side.

Soon, hopefully, I will have a tutorial on running them as services, including starting and stopping them with .bat files for ease.

What about running them with admin rights? Thats what always messes me up.
