OK
This has got to be the most simple task and I obviously am a stupid person for not being able to find this in any of the help manuals. I have Ubuntu 8.10 64bit and running vmware server 2.0 with a host OS win XP. I posted a help on here to ask why, every time I start vmware I have to delete my vm and datastore, then remake them both. One answer I got back was maybe the hard disk that the vm was kept on is not starting or mounting before vmware is, therefore it does not know it exists. This I can understand, it's almost obvious.
So all I need to do is to restart vmware server and it should find my mounted disk with my vm on yes?
For the life of me I cannot find how to do this, I've read loads....obviously all in the wrong place, I can't find a command that simply restarts vmware server 2.0 in linux! I can find loads of vmnet....vm*** processes running but I don't want to end them as I don't know how to start them unless I reboot, then I'm back to square one.
So what is the command to restart vmware? somthing like vmware -restart?
