Headless Parallels

November 12th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

Generally I like to run servers headless, as in with no display or console. In Parallels this is a little tricky, but doable from Terminal. However, Parallels Desktop must not be running. If you do launch Parallels while a Terminal-spawned VM is running, a console will automatically be created.

To see a list of available VM:

prlctl list -a

To launch a VM:

prlctl start vm_name
