To ensure an ordered power off or suspension, be sure to specify the ''soft'' option. For example, to start power off a specific virtual machine residing on host named ''vmhost''using the soft method:
<pre>
vmrun -T server -h https://vmhost:8333/sdk -u root -p mypassword stop "[Vol1] win2008/win2008.vmx"soft
</pre>
Similarly, to subsequently reboot start the same virtual machine:
