Manage vmware services on osx

VMware fusion starts up stuff but you may not want it started at all. To control its startup you need to edit the file:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vmware.launchd.vmware.plist

Using something like Launchd Editor or Apple's Property list editor (which comes with their dev package - (you'll need to run 'em using sudo) or just a text editor (e.g. sudo vim /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vmware.launchd.vmware.plist). Basically if you want to disable the services then a add a new key:
<key>Disabled</key>
<true/>
