Overview
This is an open source tool for automatically starting and stopping your virtual machines in Windows. It is written in C# and uses the VIX API to call functions in VMware.
How does it work?
You need to create a virtual machine. Then create jobs for the virtual machine. Afterwards you can start the schedule which will start/stop virtual machines according to your jobs.
Important:
You need to compile it yourself!
Since the forum rules forbid to upload precompiled binaries and libraries in terms of user safety you have to find the dependecies of the project yourself.
To compile the project you need to:
1)Open a new project in visual studio.
2)Include all source code provided in the download into the project. (You probably have to import file by file[use Shift+Alt+A]. Dont forget the directory structure.)
3)Find the most recent VMWareTasks libraries on the web.
4)Include "Vestris.VMWareLib.dll" into the project references.
5)Compile.
Please do not ask me for libraries or binaries. I cant and I wont post a link to them.
Status:
Beta
Version:
Current
v0.2 - new jobsystem (you have to remove previous configuration files to make the new version work) - only tested with Windows 10 & VMware Workstation 12 Pro
Previous
v0.1 - Initial release - only tested with Windows 10 & VMware Workstation 12 Pro
Planned for future:
Mobile notifications (only on Android so far using NMA)
Mobile remote - you will be able to start/stop VM's with your Android Phone
A .bat generator to automate starting programs in your VM
Things you need to know:
a) Im currently in my finals, so I got not that much time. If the feedback on this tool is good and you like the idea of it I will try to implement your suggestions.
b)Although it works fine for me without admin privileges, specific VM permissions can prevent the tool from working. If you run into problems try to execute it with administrative privileges.
c) There will be bugs! I'll be happy if you post anything happened. Of course provide as much information you can.
d) All configuration is stored in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\VMManager
