bash shell script

LwB · Feb 7, 2011

Is there a mac 10.6 bash shell command or shell script that I can use or that I can write in order to suspend and quit parallels desktop automatically? I use SuperDuper! for back up and they say to quit Parallels before doing a backup. SuperDuper can run a sh script for me, but what commands do I need to script to suspend my windows xp virtual machine and then shut down parallels? Any ideas?

Why not use the CLI tools Parallels provide

The parallels desktop has some command line tools with parallels desktop that i use which are very handy "prlsrvctl & prlctl". Much better idea than send keys and tell hacks. see the guide:

Example of how i use it: http://forum.parallels.com/showpost.php?p=560039&postcount=3
