What I am talking about is the web interface client: https://<hostname>:8333/ui/ For some reason it does not connect to the running vmware server on <host>. This seems to be related to MSIE and certificates, not specifically VMWare. Yesterday I had a need to power on a VM, but I was not able to connect to the UI, but I did not want to have to restart vmware on the host. I was eventually able to get it up so I could power on the VM. All the VMs are configured so I can easily log in via ssh when it is running, so the issue is strictly how can I "power on" a VM from the Linux command line on <host>. I saw reference to vmware-cmd, but that is not installed.
