日常中很多时候需要用到虚拟机，vbox和vmware都是windows系统下不错的虚
拟机软件，但是因为vbox的虚拟网络参数比较难调一些，所以我选择了使用vmware
虚拟机，在使用中遇到了一些不便，每次开机之后我都要手动打开虚拟机，感
觉很麻烦，于是从网上搜索了一下，通过命令行使用vmware.exe和vmrun.exe这
两个工具，都能实现从命令行启动虚拟机。
我自己使用的是vmrun工具来启动虚拟机的。vmrun的具体操作参数如下：
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage: vmrun [AUTHENTICATION-FLAGS] COMMAND [PARAMETERS]
AUTHENTICATION-FLAGS
--------------------
These must appear before the command and any command parameters.
-h <hostName> (not needed for Workstation)
-P <hostPort> (not needed for Workstation)
-T <hostType> (ws|server|server1|fusion|esx|vc|player)
for example, use '-T server' for VMware Server 2.0
use '-T server1' for VMware Server 1.0
use '-T ws' for VMware Workstation
use '-T ws-shared' for VMware Workstation (shared mode)
use '-T esx' for VMware ESX
use '-T vc' for VMware vCenter Server
-u <userName in host OS> (not needed for Workstation)
-p <password in host OS> (not needed for Workstation)
-vp <password for encrypted virtual machine>
-gu <userName in guest OS>
-gp <password in guest OS>
