If I try and invoke parallels using the "open" statement on a pvs file it fails..... $ open VM/winxp/winxp.pvs 2006-04-20 07:42:03.938 open[4614] LSOpenFromURLSpec() returned -10814 for application (null) urls file://localhost/Users/jrh/VM/winxp/winxp.pvs. Is there a reasonable way to open a VM from cmd line?
