The Basics and Syntax of vmrun
</td>
<td>
The https URL of the host to which ''vmrun'' is required to connect. Must also include the ''/sdk'' sub-directory and, optionally the port number (unless the ''-p'' flag below is used). For example, '''<nowiki>https://myhostname:8333/sdk'''</nowiki>.
</td>
</tr>
The ''guest password flags'' are specified if ''vmrun'' is required to log into the guest operating system to perform tasks such as work with guest files or execute commands. If such operations are not required, these flags may be omitted from the command line:
* <table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" id="E3B" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-color:#cccccc; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; margin-bottom:20px"><tr bgcolor="#cccccc" style="color:black" valign="top"><th><p>Flag</p></th><th><p>Description</p></th></tr><tr><td><p>'''-gu''' - </p></td><td>A suitable user name via which vmrun may log into the specified guest operating system</td></tr>
* <tr bgcolor="#e9e9e6"><td>'''-gp''' - </td><td>The corresponding password for the guest user specified using the ''-gu'' flag.</td></tr></table>
The ''command'' argument instructs ''vmrun'' on the task to be performed. For example, ''start'', ''stop'' and ''reset'' are all valid commands. As are the commands to perform tasks within a guest operating system, such as ''runProgramInGuest'' and ''deleteFileInGuest''.
