After going to the knowledge base, there is a command, vmrun: vmrun -T server -h https://<host>:8333/sdk -u root -p <root's password> <cmd> "<path to virtualmachine>.vmx"
I have not gotten that to run yet. VMWare documentation is inconsistent in that it specifies the port as above, and in other places uses the -P option.
