I'm looking at running VMWare on my RedHat linux box. I expect to have a number of guests on the linux host that provide some testing functionality. What I would like to do is kick off these VMWare sessions after I reboot to ensure the machines startup. Another benefit of this is that I could be logged out of X while the machines are chugging away.
Any ideas on how I could do this?
Lets use the trivial example of a RedHat host with a Fedora guest running an ftp server. I want the RedHat machine to power-on and immediately open VMWare to start the Fedora guest. Notice that no user has logged in at this point. How do I do it?
*awww* yes. Forgot about GSX server. I had considered ESX but that's not doable. Hmm... GSX... that may fit the bill. I'll see if that'll meet my needs.
