prlctl start, prlctl stop, and prlctl reset

These three commands have the same syntax and take no obligatorily arguments:

prlctl start < ID | name > [-v, --verbose number ]

prlctl stop < ID | name > [--kill] [-v, --verbose number ]

prlctl reset < ID | name > [-v, --verbose number ]

The commands are used to perform the following actions:

The options available to the commands are explained in the table below:

Parameter Name

Description

name

The name of the virtual machine to be started/stopped/reset. You can start virtual machines that are stopped, paused, or suspended.

ID

The unique ID of the virtual machine to be started/stopped/reset. You can start virtual machines that are stopped, paused, or suspended.

You can use the prlctl list command to learn what ID is assigned to the virtual machine.

--kill

If a virtual machine becomes corrupted for some reason or other (e.g. due to an error in an application), you can use this option to forcibly stop the VM by killing all the processes running inside it.

-v, --verbose number

Sets the verbosity level for the executed command. The greater number you specify, the more verbose output the command will produce.
