How to detect is vmware is running

smilemukul · 05-24-2012, 10:36 AM

Hi,

I had installed vmware workstation in my system also running multiple VMs
on it.

Is there any way/command to check that which VMs are running in my system.

A somewhat rough way of doing it would be to grep running system processes:

Code:

ps aux |grep vmware

This shows each process instance, including the location and name of each VM machine's name. If you've differentiated their names well enough it's one way to find out...
