Run VMware Fusion headless at Mac OS system startup

Run VMware Fusion headless at Mac OS system startup.

I heard you like headless VMs on your Mac so I wrote this script for your launchds.

Assumptions

  • Tested on Mac OS X 10.6.4 with VMware Fusion 2.0.5 and 3.1.1.
  • A interactive user automatically logs into the system at startup. I had some issues trying to get this running without an interactive user logged in. I automatically log in for Airfoil Speakers anyway.
  • Your virtual machines live in /Virtual Machines
blueprint:
name: Send a notification with camera snapshot when motion is detected with blocking state and URL (or lovelace view) on click, critical or not, collapse or not.
description: >
This automation blueprint creates a camera snapshot if motion is detected
and sends a notification to your phone with the picture.
Optionally you can define a binary sensor that will block the automation from running when state is ON.
For Example do not run when somebody is home (you can use the people_home template example).
Furthermore you have the option to make the notification critical or high priority and to collapse/overwrite or not.
