Well, it seem that not only the virtual machines on the expensive VMware ESX host can be scripted, but also the startup/shutdown of virtual machines in the free VMware Server host can be scripted:

That's a Windows specific set of commands. Under Linix or UNIX VMware, the clients are not as gracefully managed if you run more than one client. The 'vmware' tool itself won't run without an X session, and the individual clients need the use of the 'vmrun' command to happen form the command line, and specific configurations of the vmware sessions themselves.
It really looks like somebody tried to port the Windows model of a GUI into an X based world, and didn't really do the transfer cleanly. That's probably because VMware is not oriented around the command line: it's oriented around the Windows GUI client.
