Automatically suspend a machine when not used (or on the week ends)

Hello

How can I implement an automatic suspension of my VMs when not used, or the Friday night? Is this possible?

Are there any tools to support this?

Yes, you can do it using vmware-cmd of vCLI which offers the possibility of suspending a virtual machine and you can certainly schedule via cron or if you run vCLI on Windows via Task Scheduler.

As David says, if you try to keep the power/etc. that can potentially reduce the load on the system, but if you really want to save energy, you can use DPM. To do this, vCenter to do this, also if you have vCenter that you can create a scheduled task for a few VM operations, including suspend a virtual machine, so you do not have to do this via the command line.

    Hello

    I'm sorry for the late reply.

    I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue.

    I suggest you run the system file checker (SFC) and see if it helps.
    Reference:
    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    Note: It can ask the difficulty Windows installation DVD and allowing SFC to do more than minor repairs. Could some of the files saved on your computer are deleted when fixing corrupted files.

    Please keep us updated on the status of the issue.

    When you use find on the page (ctrl + F on Windows) it is a message indicating the total number of matches. What does the first number?
    I'm more interested in the case when this number is smaller than the total.

    Hello

    I think you mean the text stating "x of there matches", to the right of the box where you entered the search term.

    The first number ("x" in my example above) indicates the current entry highlighted on the page that matches the search phrase. If you use the upper and down arrows to navigate through the instances of this term on the page, you will see this number go up and down.

    I tried to uninstall firefox a few times and it still does not work!
    does anyone have a solution?

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    Also, try to bypass the cache

    Reload the Web page while bypassing the cache using one of the following steps:

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the reload with a left click button.

    OR

    • Press Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + SHIFT + R (Windows and Linux)
    • Press command + SHIFT + R (Mac)

    If it does not help disable HWA used in firefox.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

    Can someone out there suggest a possible cause or same difficulty for am I at the end of my knowledge on this issue and my daughter is about to throw the thing out the window.

    Hello

    I think that the described issue could be related to a hardware problem, given that the laptop should not have problems running the Microsoft Office applications.

    In many cases, the s for laptop system could freeze due to a higher temperature.
    My girlfriend repeatedly asked for help because the laptop froze too.

    But the problem was linked to a higher temperature because cooling fans were clogged and cooling fans might not work correctly. She used the laptop sitting on the couch and there was not a lot of free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation

    I want to say is that there are several reasons for such behavior annoying cell phone I think it would be wise to check the hardware first
    This should be done by the technician of the ASP.

  • Why am I getting the message «It seems that you did not start Firefox for a while...» "When I use it all the time?

    It may have been a recent update, but it says that I have not used Firefox for a little while when I used it this morning. What is only a function of the update? I expect that if Firefox knew how long since I used it, it would not give this message.

    Ignore this message!

    From what I've observed, a Firefox update will cause Firefox 'watching' the time of the profile file stanps and perhaps trigger this alert. I do not know exactly what or how many parameters involved in Firefox "decide" display this alert message, but as long as you are not having problems with Firefox do not respond to it.

    When I use Google Chrome all tabs with links to work when I access www.bose.com.au tabs are on the URL below.

    When I use Firefox, I can access the URL www.bose.com.au but the tabs for saw, in the box, details/manual, critical, and accessories are not. No idea why? I tried to clear Cookies and Cache etc in the Firefox menu according to your Q & implemented.

    Furthermore, if I block scripts from adobetag.com, the box below the tabs is empty, about a millimeter in height. If Ghostery or other extensions can block content on a site-by-site basis, that could explain the missing content.
