Script to run Linux vmware image on Mac OSX in headless mode

vm.sh

# Start and stop headless VMs
# put this on your path as save it as vm or vm.sh.
# no need to turn your vmware on when running on Mac
# just run as vm start and it will list all the available vm images.
# then choose which one you want to start. perfect for running Linux under OSX
# in headless mode for development
# Note:, some of this script is from gist (72638254422dc741b299)
# Some rework and enhancement to make it work better and handle windows
